Indianapolis Indians spoil Snell’s DBAP debut
The Durham Bulls fell to the Indianapolis Indians 5-1 Tuesday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
The Indians struck in the first inning off top-pitching prospect Blake Snell, who was making his first start at the DBAP. Gustavo Nunez singled with one out. He advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored a ground ball by Willy Garcia.
Indianapolis extended its lead to 3-0 in the third and added one run each in the eighth and ninth.
The Bulls lone run came in the ninth. Ryan Brett led off with a walk. He scored from first on an errant throw that went all the way down the rightfield line after a grounder by Luke Maile.
The series continues Wednesday at 7:05 p.m., when Durham sends right-hander Dylan Floro (9-10) to the mound opposite right-hander Chris Volstad (8-4).
