Joe Gardner dominates as Akron shuts out New Hampshire: Minor-league report

Abraham homers twice in Kinston win, Lake County falls in slugfest, Lake Erie topped by Traverse City.

AA Akron Aeros

Aeros 3, Fisher Cats 0: Akron scored single runs in the third, fourth and eighth, and defeated New Hampshire in an Eastern League game at Canal Park. Right-hander Joe Gardner (3-4) tossed eight scoreless innings and Cory Burns collected his 17th save. Matt McBride hit a solo home run in the fourth to give the Aeros a 2-0 lead.

Advanced A Kinston Indians

Indians 6, Red Sox 1: Adam Abraham slugged his ninth and 10th homers of the season, the second one slamming off a warehouse over the left field wall, as Kinston, N.C., won a Carolina League game over Salem, Va.

Notes: Kinston (35-30) is now 11/2 games behind first-place Myrtle Beach, S.C., with four games remaining in the first-half of the season.

A Lake County Captains

Loons 9, Captains 8: Lake County rallied to score a run in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough as the Captains lost a Midwest League game at Classic Park in Eastlake. Jesus Aguilar, Ronny Rodriguz, LeVon Washington and Alexander Lavisky all homered for Lake County. It was Aguilar's 10th of the year. Luis Encarnacian (1-2) gave up two runs, both earned, in one inning of middle relief and was the losing pitcher.

Independent Lake Erie Crushers

Beach Bums 9, Crushers 7: Traverse City outslugged Lake Erie in a Frontier League game in Avon, to sweep a three-game series. Lake Erie reliever Paul Daniels (0-1) allowed to go-ahead run in the seventh inning.

AAA Columbus Clippers

Clippers were idle Wednesday
