Columbus Clippers 1, Toledo Mud Hens 6

Box Score · Clippers fall to 66-63

Without league leading hitter Yandy Diaz, the Columbus offense couldn’t get out of first gear, with no players collecting multi-hit games.

Eric Stamets had the only memorable day for position players, going 1-1 at the plate with two walks and a stolen base. He also showcased his elite defense, making an incredible leaping grab to set up a triple play.

Starting pitcher Adam Plutko pitched decently, allowing just one run in 5.1 innings of work while striking out four and walking four, but the bullpen proceeded to allow five runs to cross the plate combined in the sixth and eighth innings to blow it.

Akron RubberDucks 6, Harrisburg Senators 7

Box Score · RubberDucks fall to 63-64

This game was another offensive explosion from both sides as both the RubberDucks and Senators had 13 hits.

Willi Castro had the lone multi-hit game for the Hillcats, but the team went 3-7 with runners in scoring position, doing most of their damage in a four-run first inning.

Starting pitcher Dominic DeMasi continued his incredible transition from the bullpen by giving up two runs in 5.2 innings of work. He played with fire, giving up six hits and walking three while striking out zero, but he was effective enough as his season ERA sits at an impressive 2.90.

Mahoning Valley Scrappers 5, Batavia Muckdogs 2
