Indians win, 2-1 over Syracuse on Sunday

Tyler Waldron helped the Indianapolis Indians win again on Sunday, in his first Triple-A start against the Syracuse Chiefs.

Waldron was called up to play with the Indians after Casey Salder was called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier in the day to help add some depth to the Pirates’ bullpen. Entering the game, Waldron had 10.2 scoreless innings pitched this season with Double-A Altoona. His final line was four innings, one run on two hits with five strikeouts and one walk.

The Chiefs scored their only run in the first inning and the Tribe answered with two runs in the third. Waldron scored a run – coming around to score on a single by Gregory Polanco. The other Tribe run scored when Andrew Lambo singled two batters later.

Andy Oliver was awarded the win on Sunday afternoon following 2.2 scoreless innings, in which he walked two and struck out five. He was the pitcher of record when the game reached the sixth inning. Vin Mazzaro earned the save following a scoreless and hitless performance, pitching 2.1 innings and walking three.

The Indians have two more games against the Chiefs left in the series. Jay Jackson is the probable pitcher for Monday night’s 7:05 p.m. start.
