The Vancouver Canadians were held off the scoreboard as the Spokane Indians posted a 3-0 win at Avista Stadium on Wednesday.

Spokane scored the winning run in the fifth against Vancouver starter Juaron Watts-Brown. A one-out single to right field by GJ Hill and walks to EJ Andrews Jr. and Cole Carrigg loaded the bases after Hill stole second base. Dyan Jorge came up with a sacrifice fly to right to score Hill.

A Hill home run to right field with one out in the seventh off Grayson Thurman made it 2-0 Spokane. In the eighth, Kai Peterson plunked Jorge with a pitch and he stole second and third. The latter came on a called strikeout of Charlie Condon as Jorge took advantage of C’s catcher Jacob Sharp not getting the ball back to Peterson on the mound. Cole Messina singled to right to drive in Jorge.

Watts-Brown had a three-up, three-down first inning and struck out Kyle Karros and José Cordova to overcome a Messina walk in the second. The righthander stranded a two-out single and two steals by Cole Carrigg thanks to strikeouts of Hill and Andrews.

In the fourth, Watts-Brown plunked Condon who stole second but a strikeout of Karros was the first of three straight outs. A 1-2-3 inning in the sixth ended the night for Watts-Brown thanks to strikeouts of Karros swinging and Messina looking.

The Canadians were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on. Peyton Williams upped his hitting streak to 13 games with a single to center with two outs in the first inning against Spokane starter Mason Green.

Jace Bohrofen had a leadoff walk in the second but was erased on an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play by Cutter Coffey. Je’Von Ward also walked to start the third but was picked off and caught stealing to give Green another three-batter inning.

Jackson Hornung walked and Bohrofen singled to left with two outs in the fourth inning and moved up a base on a Green wild pitch but Nick Goodwin struck out.

Coffey led off the fifth with a walk and got to second on a throwing error after Ward lined out to Jorge at short. A wild pitch got Coffey to third with one out but Jay Harry struck out looking and Adrian Pinto flew out to right.

Another two-out rally got Green out of the game in the sixth when Bohrofen walked and Hornung singled to center but Carlos Torres got Goodwin to line out to first.

In the seventh, Ward got aboard with an infield single to short with one out and raced to third on a Harry base hit to right but Pinto struck out looking and Sharp grounded out to second.

Williams started the eighth with an infield single to third against Welinton Herrera. Pinch-runner Victor Arias got to third on a two-out knock to left by Goodwin but Coffey hit a comebacker to the mound to end that rally.

Sam Weatherly retired the side in order in the ninth to get the save for Spokane.

Connor O’Halloran will be on the bump for Vancouver in a 6:35 p.m. contest at Avista Stadium. The game is on CanadiansBaseball.com and MiLB.TV.
