The frame was highlighted by a grand slam from Trey Lipscomb.

In the third, Seth Beer crushed a two-run line drive single to right field off a Spenser Watkins (W, 5-3) sinker as the Indians started to cut away at the lead.

The Red Wings tacked on four runs between the fifth and sixth innings courtesy of RBI doubles from Carter Kieboom, Darren Baker and James Wood. They added another insurance run in the eighth inning, plating Dylan Crews for the fourth time to cap their scoring.

Palacios continued his run-scoring efforts for Indianapolis in the ninth, doubling home two in the game's final frame. The performance set season highs for the outfielder in hits and RBI.

The Indians offense battled, putting up 14 hits to the Red Wings' 17. Twelve of Rochester's 14 runs came with two outs.
