Columbus Clippers 1, Toledo Mud Hens 3
It was a slow day for the Clippers offensively, as they recorded just four hits. Kahlil Watson went 1-3 with an RBI single hit 107.4 off the bat. Nolan Jones and Dayan Frias both went 1-3 with a walk.
Ryan Webb allowed two runs in four innings while striking out three batters and walking two. Daniel Espino and Franco Aleman continue to look good. Espino had a scoreless inning of relief despite two walks. Aleman went two full innings tonight and struck out two without
allowing a single hit. He has yet to give up a single run this season, he is more than ready to be called up, and we know this bullpen needs all the help they can get.
Akron RubberDucks 8, Harrisburg Senators 3
Angel Genao continues to have an awesome bounce back season. He went 1-1 today with three walks and an RBI. He is up to a .288 average and an .854 OPS on the season. Ralphy Velazquez went 1-4 with a walk. Jacob Cozart had a bases loaded double that knocked everyone in. Nick Mitchell hit a two run home and increased his OPS to .734 on the season.
Caden Favors had a bit off an odd start. He somehow limited the damage to just one run in 4.2 innings pitched despite walking 7 batters. His ERA is down to 2.45 on the season. Carter Rustad continues to have a good season as he struck out three batters in a scoreless 1.1 innings of relief. His ERA is downt o 1.59 on the season.
Hill City Howlers 4, Delmarva Shorebirds 0
This Hill City team might be the most fun of all the affiliates to watch right now. Dauri Fernandez, Robert Arias, Juneiker Caceres, Anthony Martinez, and Luis De La Cruz are all raking. Dauri Fernandez went 2-5 with an opposite field double tonight, Juneiker Caceres went 1-3 with an RBI single and a walk.
I mentioned above some of the young exciting hitters on the team, but this pitching staff has been awesome as well. Nelson Keljo continues to impress in his first season of pro ball. His ERA is down to 1.26 after tossing three more scoreless innings tonight with three strikeouts and just one walk. Jervis Alfaro and Luke Fernandez combined for 8 strikeouts in 5 scoreless innings of relief.
