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.
