Indianapolis 6, Columbus (Yankees) 5 Lee Stevens hits a two-run dinger in win... Indy Site Game Summary: The Indianapolis Indians (8-13) improved to 5-2 at Victory Field with a 6-5 win over the Columbus Clippers (5-15) on Saturday night. The Indians bullpen held off a late inning surge from the Columbus offense to preserve the victory for Tribe starting pitcher Francisco Campos (1-2). Lee Stevens' two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning off of Columbus starter Christian Parker (0-1), which put the score at 6-1, proved to be the deciding factor for the Indians. Saturday night's game marked Parker's second start of the season after having missed nearly two years rehabilitating an injured shoulder. The Indians got on the board first in the second inning when Pete Zoccolillo reached base with a double to deep left and was driven home two batters later by a Cody McKay single. Mark Smith continued his hot streak at the plate going 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI. Smith drove home Jason Conti with a double in the third inning and later scored on a Scott Seabol (2-for-4) double to left-center. Campos pitched 5.0 innings allowing only four hits and one run, a solo homer to Nate Rolison in the fourth, while striking out six before giving way to the Indians bullpen. After Leo Estrella held the Clippers to only one baserunner in the sixth and seventh innings, Jamey Wright started the eighth for Indianapolis. Wright allowed three hits including an RBI single to former Indian Bobby Smith in his one inning of work. The Tribe then turned to Roberto Giron in the ninth inning leading 6-2 in a non-save situation. Giron struggled allowing five baserunners on two walks and three hits before being relieved by Danny Kolb with two outs and runners on first and second base. Kolb induced Smith into hitting a groundball to Tribe third baseman Seabol who tossed to Stevens for the final out. For Kolb, it was his first save since July 24th of last season for the Texas Rangers. The two teams will complete the short two-game series on Sunday afternoon when the Tribe's Ruben Quevedo (2-1, 2.61) looks for his third victory of the season against Danny Borrell (1-1, 2.65) for Columbus. Gametime is set for 2:00 p.m. as the first 4,000 fans will receive an Indians logo baseball. Indianapolis Star Game Story: Sheds some light on Stevens' situation... Lee Stevens and Mark Smith, two of the Indianapolis Indians with significant major-league experience, played major roles as the Indians defeated Columbus 6-5 Saturday night. Stevens, who decided this week that it was time to retire from baseball, blasted a two-run homer. The 35-year-old, who has played in the majors in 10 seasons, will leave the Indians after the team ends its homestand Wednesday. "I got to do it the way I wanted to, and picked the day," said Stevens. "I'm walking away from the game and not getting pushed out. I'm ready to go on with the next phase of my life." The victory was only the second in 12 games for the Indians (8-13). Francisco Campos (1-2) struck out six in five innings and survived three early scoring threats, giving up four hits and one run. Indianapolis built a 6-1 lead but then had to survive a ninth-inning uprising by the Clippers (5-15). Smith, who has a .243 major-league average for 381 games, had three of the nine hits Indianapolis collected in the first five innings against Christian Parker (0-1), who was pitching for only the second time in nearly two years after having shoulder surgery. Smith pounded two doubles and a single to drive in two runs, raising his team-high RBI total to 11. Columbus scored three runs off Roberto Giron in the ninth inning and had the tying and potential winning run on base when Danny Kolb -- the fifth Indianapolis pitcher of the night -- came into the game. Kolb picked up the save by getting Bobby Smith to ground to third for the final out. Indianapolis Box Score: Estrella and Kolb continue their solid bullpen work...
