Indianapolis right fielder Bruce Riley helped his team get ahead early. In the top of the first, with the bases loaded, he grounded out, driving in 1 run.

Windom said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."
