Columbus outfielder Jose Constanza. The outfielder went 4-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored to lead Columbus to a 5-2 win over the Louisville Bats on Thursday night at Louisville Slugger Field.

Indianapolis managed only three hits, but two were first-inning home runs in the Indians' five-run first at-bat, on the way to a 6-2 win over the Louisville Bats at Louisville Slugger Field on Wednesday night. The Bats, however, maintained their 1 1/2-game lead in the International League West because second-place Columbus lost to Toledo.
The host Indianapolis Indians scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to rally for a 4-2 victory over the Louisville Bats on Sunday afternoon.
