<p>It took nearly six innings of perfection from an opposing pitcher to finally derail Scranton/Wilkes-Barre&#8217;s winning streak.</p><p>Indianapolis starter Alex McRae didn&#8217;t allow a baserunner until there were two outs in the sixth and took a no-hitter into the seventh as the Indians knocked off the RailRiders 4-2 in a Thursday matinee at PNC Field.</p><p>The RailRiders had been 7-0 in May and nearly rallied to keep the streak alive, scoring in the eighth and ninth and bringing the tying run to the plate in each.</p><p>Indianapolis took an early 3-0 lead on a pair of RBI doubles in the third and another in the fourth against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starter David Hale.</p><p>McRae set down the first 17 batters he faced until Matt Lipka drew a two-out walk in the sixth. Mandy Alvarez ended the no-hit bid with a double in the seventh, ending McRae&#8217;s afternoon.</p><p>The RailRiders (17-13) had better luck against the bullpen, as Mike Ford drove in Cliff Pennington with a single in the eighth. But the Indians got the run back in the top of the ninth on a home run by Patrick Kivlehan.</p><p>Down to their final two outs, the RailRiders got back-to-back doubles from Alvarez and Brad Miller, with the latter making it 4-2. But Zach Zehner struck out and Pennington grounded out to end the game.</p><p>Hale took the loss, allowing three earned runs on seven hits in five innings while striking out six and walking three.</p><p>David Sosebee and Rex Brothers each pitched two innings in relief.</p><p>The RailRiders open a three-game series with Toledo at PNC Field this weekend, beginning with today&#8217;s 6:35 p.m. game.</p><p>Drew Hutchison is scheduled to start.</p><style>
