INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Indians mounted a four-run comeback and were one out away from sealing a victory, but Steven Moya and Jefry Marte combined on three runs in the top of the ninth to give the Toledo Mud Hens (20-29) a 9-8 victory on Saturday night at Victory Field.

Despite the defeat, the Tribe (30-20) is 8-2 over its last 10 contests and now looks to notch a series victory against Toledo's scheduled rehab starter of 2011 American League MVP Justin Verlander.

Moya finished 3-for-4 with a run scored and game-high four RBIs. He doubled home a run in the first, bounced into an RBI groundout one inning later and plated two in the ninth with a single to tie the game 8-8.

Marte followed with an RBI double that dealt the league's leading closer Blake Wood (0-2) just his second blown save in 15 opportunities with the Indians.

Tribe top prospect Alen Hanson reached base five times and finished a triple shy of the cycle with three hits, two runs scored, three RBIs and a pair of walks.

Gustavo Nunez went 2-for-4 and leads the league with a .368 batting average this month.
