MINOR-LEAGUE REPORT

AAA Columbus Clippers

Clippers 5, Tides 1 Catcher Paul Phillips singled home the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning, and SS Cord Phelps capped the four-run inning with a three-run double for the Clippers in the International League game in Norfolk (Va.). 3B Lonnie Chisenhall homered for the first Columbus run in the sixth inning. Clippers RH starter Zach McAllister, who is 7-0 with a 2.29 ERA, got a no-decision, holding the Tides to one run on four hits and no walks in seven innings, while striking out five. RH reliever Zach Putnam (3-1, six saves, 2.96) pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to get the win, and RH reliever Josh Judy finished with a scoreless 10th inning. 

Notes: Cord Phelps' double made him 1-for-5 and extended his hitting streak to 10 games, during which he is 14-for-40 (.350) with four doubles, two home runs and 12 RBI....Lonnie Chisenhall has hit in five straight, going 9-for-22 (.409) with two homers and two doubles....LH reliever Nick Hagadone, acquired from the Red Sox organization when the Indians traded Victor Martinez to Boston in July, 2009, was 1-0 with one save in three outings since being promoted from AA Akron. He is a combined 3-1 with a 1.67 ERA in 27 innings with Columbus and Akron, striking out 28 and walking seven while holding opponents to a .177 batting average with no homers. Hagadone was considered an elite Red Sox prospect but had to undergo Tommy John elbow surgery in 2008.

AA Akron Aeros

Senators 7-5, Aeros 6-1 Akron dropped the Eastern League games to Harrisburg Thursday at Canal Park, falling in a suspended game and then in a seven-inning contest. The first game was resumed after being suspended with the teams tied, 1-1, in the second inning on Wednesday night. Aeros’ 1B Jared Goedert slugged a solo homer in the first inning and a three-run homer in the eighth. RH starter Austin Adams (4-4, 2.81) took the loss, allowing two runs in 1 1/3 innings before the game was stopped on Wednesday. Aeros LH T.J. McFarland (1-3, 5.09) went the full seven innings in the second game, but got the loss — Akron’s third straight to match a season-high — allowing six runs (four earned) while fanning five and walking one. Aeros LF Tim Fedroff went 1-for-4 with a double in the suspended game, extending his hitting streak to 19 games, then didn’t play in the regularly scheduled game. His .373 batting average continues to lead the league. 
 
Notes: RF Matt McBride doubled in each game and was 4-for-7. He’s on a seven-game hitting streak, going 10-for-25 (.400) with two doubles, one triple, two homers and eight RBI....Goedert has played in seven games since missing the first part of the season with a strained oblique. He is 7-for-26 (.269) with two doubles, three homers and eight RBI.

Advanced A Kinston Indians

RH starter Brett Brach (4-3, 2.84) pitched five innings for the win, striking out six while allowing one run on three hits and three walks.

Notes: Adam Abraham is 8-for-26 (.308) with four doubles, two homers and eight RBI in his last eight games....RH reliever Adam Miller, considered Cleveland’s top pitching prospect before finger injuries jeopardized his career, gave up three runs in the eighth inning on two hits and a walk, while fanning one. Miller had pitched nine scoreless innings in his previous six games, fanning 12 while allowing two hits and three walks, since his one-inning, four-run outing on April 30, which was the first time he pitched in a game since 2008....Guilmet had pitched 16 2/3 scoreless innings in his first 15 games, fanning 16 while giving up nine hits and one walk.
