INDIANAPOLIS - Three Indianapolis Indians relievers combined to one-hit the Gwinnett Braves over 3 1/3 innings and Gustavo Nunez scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the fifth in a 4-2, series-clinching win on Sunday afternoon at Victory Field.

The Tribe is 9-1 in its last 10 games and has won each of its last four series' dating to the beginning of June.

Alen Hanson went 2-for-4 during his team-best 22nd multi-hit effort through 61 games. He also scored the Indians' (41-24) first run on an infield single from Jaff Decker, and plated Elias Diaz as added insurance with an RBI hit in the bottom of the sixth.

Pitching in relief of starter Wilfredo Boscan (4-2), AJ Morris worked out of a jam with two outs in the sixth, John Holdzkom navigated a two-walk seventh and Blake Wood picked up his first two-inning save with just one hit and one strikeout.

Wood has converted 18 of his 20 opportunities, which is already ranked as the most saves in a single season for the Tribe since Tim Wood (21) in 2012.

Nunez sealed Cody Martin's (1-2) second loss for Gwinnett (30-32) when he scored on a pitch that bounced in front of home plate with two outs in the fifth frame.
