The Spokane Indians ended the first of two trips to Canada this season on a positive note.

Joe Rock allowed just one hit over seven innings to lead Spokane to a 3-0 win over Vancouver in the first game of a Northwest League doubleheader in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sunday.

Drew Romo drove in three runs in the second game to take over the league lead in RBIs, and Spokane earned a 5-1 victory to complete the sweep.

Romo has 37 runs batted in, one more than the Canadians infielder Addison Barger.
