SPOKANE - Eric Brooks and two relievers combined on a two-hitter, and the Spokane Indians snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over the Tri-City Dust Devils in Northwest League baseball Monday night before 3,391 at Avista Stadium.

Brooks (1-1) pitched five shutout innings for Spokane (9-22), striking out four and allowing one hit. Jose Monegro struck out two in two hitless innings, and Josh McElwee fanned four in two innings for his third save.

Spokane's Gabriel Roa singled to lead off the third inning, and scored on a throwing error by Tri-City (14-16) for the game's only run.

The game was delayed for nearly an hour by lightning following the sixth inning.

The teams play the second of their three-game series tonight at 6:30.
