SPOKANE, Wash. - The Indians could never make it back from back-to-back three-run innings from the Canadians, as Spokane lost 6-3 to Vancouver in front of 4,917 fans and Avista Stadium on Thursday night.

Vancouver got to Indians starter Joe Palumbo in the fifth inning, scoring three runs on three straight two-out singles. Palumbo exited the game with two strikeouts, two walks and a 2.92 ERA.

Ashton Perritt allowed one hit with a strikeout in the next 1.1 innings.
LeDarious Clark collected his league-leading sixth triple in the fifth inning as he hit Yeyson Yrizarri home. Yrizarri finished 3-for-4, extending his season-high hit streak to an impressive 11 games.
