AAA Columbus Clippers

Clippers 3, Chiefs 0: Justin Germano (1-2) pitched a perfect game for Columbus, as the Clippers won at Syracuse, N.Y., in an International League game. Germano, a 6-2 right-hander, struck out seven in facing the minimum of 27 batters. He threw 95 pitches, and 69 were strikes.

In the bottom of the ninth, Germano retired Jhonatan Solano on a fly ball to center fielder Tim Fedroff, and then Jeff Frazier on a fly ball to left fielder Jerad Head. He finished with a flourish, fanning Corey Brown looking.

Fedroff slugged a double and triple and drove in two runs.
