Sailing the Ship

The Game – Tonight, the Clippers will be facing the Durham Bulls at 7:05 on Huntington Field.

The Stats – Last night, Columbus played Durham for the 3rd time in a row and lost, yet again. This time, the score was 4-3. This moves the Clippers to Third place in the International League and gives them a 34-44 record.

The Clippers have lost the last 5 games, giving the third 5L streak of the year. They have also lost 7 of the last 8 at home against Durham.

Starting Pitchers- The Clippers, trying again to stop their loosing streak, will be sending RHP Kirk Saarloos (3-9) to the mound. Durham will hope that beginners luck holds for LHP Carlos Hernandez (4-4), who will be facing the Clippers for the first time ever.

Notes – Andy Marte, who was named player of the week last week, hit in his 21st RBI of June last night. This makes him the first Clipper to record 20+ in a month since last August.

Michael Brantley stole another base last night, giving him 1 in each of the last 5 games. This gives him 30 steals for the season, and places him at the head of the IL.

If the Clippers want to keep from being swept in their series with Durham, then they need to win tonight.

Promo Night – There are three different promotions tonight. You should check them out.
