Toledo Mud Hens 3, Indianapolis Indians 0 (box)

Dixon Machado reached base three times and stole home in the first inning, while Steven Moya and Casey McGehee each drove in a run for Toledo.

He and four Toledo relievers (including closer Bruce Rondon) held the Indians to six hits and two walks while striking out 13 hitters. Cameron Maybin went 0-for-4 in a rehab appearance.
