INDIANAPOLIS -- The Toledo Mud Hens (60-81) scored three runs in the fourth inning and held off the Indianapolis Indians (81-60) for a 3-2 win on Friday night at Victory Field. With Columbus victorious over Louisville, the Indians are now in a tie for first place in the International League's West Division with three games remaining in the regular season.

In the bottom of the seventh, John Bowker cut the lead to one with a double. The Tribe had the tying run at third base and the go-ahead run at second, but could not add to the rally.
Josh Zeid (4-3) made a spot start for Toledo and earned the win.
The Indians, who have clinched a playoff spot, welcomed 12,644 fans tonight and are seeking to break the club's attendance record of 660,289 during tomorrow's regular season home finale.
