INDIANAPOLIS -- Starter Casey Sadler battled through his quality start of two runs in six innings, but the Indianapolis Indians' (53-46) bullpen surrendered seven scores in the final three frames of a 9-5 loss to the Columbus Clippers (53-46) on Sunday afternoon at Victory Field. The Tribe enters the All-Star break at seven games above .500 and locked in a tie with Columbus atop the IL West division.

Sadler celebrated his 24th birthday by tossing his team-leading 10th quality outing in just his 14th start of the season. He labored through the outing on a career-high 113 pitches, and saw only his pair of second-inning, leadoff singles come all the way around to score.

After Matt Carson and Carlos Moncrief reached safely and moved into scoring position on a sac bunt from Ryan Rohlinger, a Luke Carlin single plated Carson and a Jose Ramirez sac fly scored Moncrief to put the Clippers up 2-0.

Former IL Pitcher of the Year Tyler Cloyd mimicked Sadler with two runs (1ER) in six frames, but after Tony Sanchez reached on a two-base error and scored on Mel Rojas' RBI single, Cloyd's offense pounded out three runs of support in the seventh to give improve their starter's record to 7-5.

The two Clubs swapped runs in the eighth before Columbus pulled ahead 9-3 with three tallies in the ninth. Brent Morel then delivered a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth of both his and Tribe's last at-bat before the All-Star break.
