INDIANAPOLIS - Charlie Morton struck out nine over 6 1/3 innings but the Indianapolis Indians' offense converted its 10 hits into just one run in a 3-1 loss to the Pawtucket Red Sox on Tuesday night at Victory Field.
Morton (1-1) retired five of his first six batters with a strikeout, including all three faced in the top of the second inning. The right-hander allowed just two runs tonight and wrapped up a two-game rehab assignment for the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 2.03 ERA and 17 strikeouts over 13 1/3 innings.
Alen Hanson tripled and scored to give the Indians (22-18) a 1-0 lead in the first but Humberto Quintero tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth.
The Red Sox (23-17) took the lead in the seventh when Quintin Berry lifted their second sacrifice fly and Quintero crossed one batter later on a wild pitch.
Pawtucket starter Brian Johnson improved to 5-2 with one run on eight hits in six innings of work. Reliever Zeke Spruill worked the ninth frame to earn his second save.
