Indianapolis 8, Buffalo 5

From Press Release:

The Bisons dropped their second straight game 8-5 on Friday night from Indianapolis, after the Indians scored seven runs in the middle three innings of the game.

The Herd jumped out to a 4-0 lead after three innings. After a sac fly by Mike Hessman scored the first run of the game in inning one for the Bisons, Chris Carter scored Mike Jacobs on an RBI double.

In the third frame Hessman struck again. With Jacobs on base again, Hessman blasted his ninth homer of the season over the right field wall to put the Bisons up four. The three RBI night for Hessman gives him 32 on the year.

But the Indians combined for seven runs over the fourth, fifth, and sixth inning to go on top 7-4. Bisons starter Dillon Gee walked in a run in the fourth. Then Luke Carlin hit his first long ball of the year, a two run home run, which was part of a four-run fifth inning.

A day after hitting a three-run homer against the Bisons, Pedro Alvarez produced four RBI for the Indians tonight.

Gee suffered his first loss on the year, going five innings and giving up five runs on six hits.
