Indianapolis Loses One-Hitter

Ryan Vogelsong pitched 8 innings of one-hit ball, the only hit allowed by the Indianapolis Indians, but it was enough for the Norfolk Tides (Mets) to beat Indianapolis, 1-0.

Indianapolis starter Ryan Vogelsong (2-5) was nearly perfect in the contest, but still took the tough-luck loss. He did not issue a walk and allowed just one hit in 8.0 innings, but the hit was a solo home run by Tides' third baseman Chris Basak in the 5th inning. Vogelsong struck out five and threw just 82 pitches, 60 of which were strikes.

Indianapolis put runners on first and third in the ninth inning off of Tides' closer Heath Bell, but Norfolk escaped the jam when Bell fanned Chris Richard and Carlos Maldonado to ensure the win. It was Bell's 11th save in 11 chances this season, and helped the Tides to their fourth win in the past five games.
