Games

Bristol was rained out.

— Indianapolis (60-49) beat Columbus, 5-4. Tyler Eppler gave up three runs on eight hits in six and two-thirds innings. The Indians took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth and Jesus Liranzo survived a double and two walks to get the very shaky save. Kevin Kramer went 2-3, raising his average to .300. He left for a pinch hitter, though, after making a diving play in the seventh, so he may be hurt. Jerrick Suiter and Erich Weiss each had a single and a double, and Pablo Reyes hit his seventh home run.

Max Moroff: 1-4, 2B, BB
Jason Martin: 0-4, BB
