SPOKANE, Wash. - Alberto Triunfel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, lifting the Spokane Indians to a 7-3 victory over the Boise Hawks, before 3,771 fans at Avista Stadium.

The win helped the Indians to a 10-1 start to the season - their best in the over 100-year history of the franchise - while the Hawks lost their seventh in a row.

Spokane struck first in the second inning, as a pair of walks and a balk put runners in scoring position - with a RBI ground out by Fernando Vivili giving the Indians the 1-0 lead.

The Hawks countered in the top of the third - as Jeffrey Baez singled home Varonex Cuevas with two-outs - but an RBI triple by Luke Tendler in the bottom of the frame gave Spokane the lead back.

In the fifth, Triunfel extended the lead to 4-1 with his blast to left, with a Zach Cone RBI single pushing the margin to 5-1.

Boise cut the lead in half in the seventh, as Jesse Hodges launched a two-run homer to left, but the Indians answered with two in the bottom of the frame - one on a bases loaded walk, another on a sacrifice fly.

Richelson Pena allowed a run on four hits to pick up his second win of the season for the Indians.

The series finale is tomorrow night at 7:35 p.m. (MT) with Tyler Ihrig meeting Ryan Ledbetter.
