Phelps, Huffman homer in Columbus win; Kinston splits doubleheader; Lake County manages just one hit in loss; Scrappers shut out by Auburn; Lake Erie batters Evansville.

AA Akron Aeros

Aeros 10, Rock Cats 2: Akron pounded out 13 hits to punish New Britain (Conn.) in an Eastern League game at Canal Park. The Aeros spread out their offense, scoring no more than three runs in any inning. Nick Weglarz and Kyle Bellows each belted his third homer of the season. Both were bases-empty shots. Austin Adams (9-8) was the starter and winning pitcher. He gave up two runs, both earned, in 6 innings.

AAA Columbus Clippers

Clippers 6, Chiefs 4: Cord Phelps and Chad Huffman each slugged a home run, Josh Judy pitched a scoreless ninth for his 17th save, and Columbus beat Syracuse (N.Y.) in an International League game in Columbus. Mitch Talbot (1-1) picked up the victory but was also charged with a blown save. He gave up a run and three hits in two innings of relief.

Advanced A Kinston Indians

Red Sox 5-1, Indians 1-2: Adam Abraham slugged a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning to give Kinston (N.C.) a victory over Salem (Va.) in the nightcap of a doubleheader. The visiting Red Sox won the opener after scoring four runs while batting around in the first inning. Abraham went 3-for-3, with three singles in Game 1.

Notes: Kinston hit into three double plays in the doubleheader. The teams played two to make up for a game rained out Saturday.

A Lake County Captains

Dragons 4, Captains 1 (7): Lake County managed only one hit and lost to Dayton in a Midwest League game at Classic Park in Eastlake. The game was called after seven innings because of rain. Jordan Cooper (2-5) pitched all seven innings for the Captains. He served up two gopher balls, both with the bases empty. The Captains' lone hit was a run-scoring double by first baseman Aaron Fields.

A Mahoning Valley Scrappers

Doubledays 7, Scrappers 0: Mahoning Valley starter Harold Guerrero (2-2) was pounded for six runs, all earned, in 3 innings, and Auburn (N.Y.) won a New York-Penn League game in Niles. The Scrappers stranded eight runners and were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
