LAST TIME OUT

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders beat the Indianapolis Indians 7-2 at Victory Field on Tuesday night. Garret Martin homered for the second straight game and drove in four to pace the second-half opener to a win.

Garrett Martin staked Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to a 2-0 advantage with a third-inning home run off Indianapolis starter Antwone Kelly. The 443-foot blast was his second with the RailRiders in three games since his promotion from Double-A Somerset on Saturday.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre sent all nine hitters to the plate in the fourth, adding three runs on a pair of hits, two hit batters, and a walk. Ernesto Martínez Jr. scored when Duke Ellis reached on an error, Oswaldo Cabrera singled in Jonathan Ornelas, and Payton Henry crossed on an infield hit by Martin for a 5-0 lead.

The Indians responded with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, capitalizing on four RailRiders walks, to cut the lead to three runs.

In the eighth, run-scoring singles from Cabrera and Martin extended the lead back to five runs and capped the scoring at 7-2.

Alexander Cornielle worked three-plus innings, allowing one run on two hits with two strikeouts and four walks. Carson Coleman (1-0) earned the win with 1.1 scoreless innings, combining with Yovanny Cruz and Brad Hanner to shut down the Indians over the final 4.1 frames. Kelly (3-5) took the loss after allowing the first four runs on three hits over three innings.
