AAA Columbus Clippers

Clippers 7, Bats 3: Columbus battered Aaron Harang for five hits and five runs, all earned, in five innings, and went on to defeat Louisville, Ky. Harang, a veteran right-hander, is pitching for Louisville on a rehab assignment for the parent Cincinnati Reds. He also struck out five. The Clippers' Wes Hodges clubbed his 10th homer of the season, and teammate Matt McBride hit his second.

AA Akron Aeros

Aeros 7, Rock Cats 0: Akron spaced out its runs, scoring no more than two in any inning, and defeated New Britain, Conn., in an Eastern League game at Canal Park in Akron. Jason Kipnis slugged his ninth homer of the year, a two-run shot, in the first inning. Corey Kluber (1-2) pitched six innings of shutout ball and picked up the win.

Advanced A Kinston Indians

Hillcats 6, Indians 4: Kinston, N.C. starter T. J. House was roughed up for five runs, all earned, on nine hits in five innings as the K-Tribe lost at Lynchburg, Va., in a Carolina League game. He also uncorked a wild pitch. Lynchburg completed a sweep of the three-game series.

A Lake County Captains

Captains 5, Dragons 2: Giovanni Soto (9-6) gave up two runs in five innings, Roberto Perez hit his sixth home run, and Lake County defeated Dayton in a Midwest League game at Classic Park in Eastlake. Jose Flores pitched a scoreless ninth, striking out two, for his fourth save.

Notes: In the top of the sixth, Captains relief pitcher Ramon Cespedes picked Dayton's Ryan LaMarre off first, as LaMarre was trying to steal second. LaMarre had reached on an error, and the pickoff ended the inning.

A Mahoning Valley Scrappers

Scrappers 10, Spinners 8: Mahoning Valley scored five in the top of the eighth to defeat Lowell, Mass., in a New York-Penn League game. Two Scrappers homered: Kevin Rucker socked his second of the year, and Moises Montero his first. Jordan Cooper (4-3) pitched four innings in relief to pick up the win. He gave up five hits and two runs, both earned. James Ehlert picked up his fifth save, striking out three in 11/3 innings.
