Columbus Clippers complete series sweep over Rochester
Sunday's game: Clippers 3, Red Wings 2
Recap: Ernie Clement hit bookend RBIs and the Clippers completed a six-game sweep over the Red Wings. Clement plated Will Brennan with a bloop single, then scored on a Trenton Brooks triple to give the Clippers a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. Tied in the eighth, Clement's double scored Brennan before Anthony Castro struck out the side in the ninth for his third save of the season. Brennan finished with three hits. Kirk McCarty was the only Columbus pitcher, of which there were eight, to pitch more than one inning (two). The staff yielded five hits, including none through the first six innings and combined to strike out 11 batters.
Of note: Columbus remained one game behind first-place Nashville in the International League West division. .... The Clippers added outfielder Franmil Reyes and pitcher Hunter Gaddis, who were optioned from Cleveland. The Guardians added pitcher Jake Jewell from Columbus and released first baseman Bobby Bradley, who hit .118 in April with the Guardians and .174 over 47 games with the Clippers.
