Columbus 13, Charlotte 2
The big story of this game was Jason Donald's cycle. Donald, who was starting at third base, homered in the first inning, hit a tripled and singled in the third inning, grounded out in the fifth and struck out in the seventh, but then doubled in the ninth to complete the cycle.
Of course Donald wasn't the only Clipper to have a big night; Russ Canzler (who I mentioned in the News post) went 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk, and Tim Fedroff went 3-for-5 with a double. Corey Kluber cruised for the victory, striking out 9 and allowing just one run in 6.1 innings of work.
