*UPDATED*
Columbus got rocked last night, 13-6..
Cassell started & got shelled for 7 runs (6 earned) in 3 1/3 IP, Edell came on & didn't do any better, he allowed 6 runs in 3 1/3 himself..
Thankfully the best reliever on the team, Jon Meloan, came through with 2 1/3 scoreless innings, otherwise it could've gotten even more ugly
Aubrey had a great night at the plate, going 4-5 (2 2Bs, 2 RBI), moving his BA up to .550
Wes Hodges had a breakout game as well, going 3-5, also with 2 2B.. Matt LaPorta continued his hot hitting, going 2-4 as well
Stephen Head went deep in the losing effort.
Today was better for Columbus, they had an 11:00 am start time
David Huff had his 1st strong start of the season, going 5 solid innings, allowing just 1 run on 5 hits
Rundles, Herges, Aquino followed with 4 scoreless innings of relief, allowing just 1 baserunner
Hitting wise, Jordan Brown led the way, going 3-4 w/ a double, a homer & 2 rbi
Aubrey had his 2nd great game in as many days, going 2-4, which actually lowered his batting average to a measly .542
LaPorta finally came to earth, going 0-4

*UPDATED*
Even though they were outhit last night (10-6), the Clippers were victorious, 2-1, last night at Toledo
Tomo Ohka was great, pitching 6 shutout innings, allowing only 5 hits & 1 walk, while striking out 4.
Tony Sipp struggled, as he followed by allowing the only run for Toledo in 2 innings of work, allowing 4 hits & 1 walk.. amazingly, only giving up 1 run
Matt Herges pitched another scoreless inning for his 1st save of the season, allowing just 1 hit, while striking out 1
Not a lot on the offensive side, as Columbus managed only 6 hits (nobody with more than 1).. Brantley led the offense by going 1-3 w/ an RBI single, he also drew a walk and stole his 2nd base of the season..
But the big hit of the night was by Matt LaPorta, who hit a solo HR in the 6th, giving the Clippers the lead for good.. It was his 2nd HR of the season, and he now has 4 RBI
Columbus plays tonight at 5:30.. Kirk Saarloos on the mound for the Clippers

*UPDATED*
Sorry, a lil behind
Columbus dropped its Friday night game, 5-3
The story of the game, undoubtedly, (again) is Michael Aubrey, as he banged out 4 hits in 4 at bats, including his 3rd double of the season (also drove in his team leading 8th RBI)
The bad news for the Clippers? He had half of the team's hits.. Besides Andy Marte's triple (in which he was stranded at 3rd base), they managed just 3 other hits, all singles (Brantley, Valbuena, LaPorta)..
Brantley continues to show the Tribe he can be their lead-off man of the future, as he swiped his 3rd base of the season, then stole third for his 4th of the season..
Kirk Saarloos started for the Clippers and fell to 0-2 on the season, although he did pitch much better than his 1st start.. he finished going 6 innings, giving up 3 ER on 5 hits, walking 3 and striking out 7
The bullpen, however, could not hold the lead, as Rich Rundles and Jon Meloan (2 of the best in the Columbus pen this season) couldn't get it done, giving up 2 ER in 2 innings of work
Columbus, meanwhile, lost a heartbreaker, 3-1 today (Saturday)
Jeremy Sowers got off to a shaky start, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits in the 1st inning, but settled in nicely, allowing just 4 hits & 1 walk over his last 5 innings of work..
Unfortunately for Sowers & the Clippers, the bats just couldn't get it going.
Sowers got tagged for the loss, even though he pitched very well & struck out 8 in his 6 innings of work.. (0-1, 1.64)
Ryan Edell came on in relief, and had his best outing of the season, allowing just 1 unearned run in 3 innings of work, striking out 2
As mentioned, the Clipper bats just couldn't get it going.. Chris Gimenez (who came in starting the season 0-21) went 3-4 and had almost half of the Clipper hits, the rest of which were scattered singles
By the way, Michael Aubrey is human.. he struck out in the bottom of the 9th, to end the ballgame, representing the tying run

Sunday: Clippers 7, Mudhens 5
Boxscore
Matt LaPorta hit a dinger and Matt Cassel's older brother Jac, held the Mudhens off long enough for the victory. Michael Aubrey went 0-fer, Valbuena went 3-fer, and Tony Sipp struck out 4 in two innings of scoreless relief. Check the boxscore for the rest.
Clippies play tonight @ 6:35, David Huff on the hill. Hope he realizes there is a spot in the Tribe rotation waiting for him, just stay healthy and effective.

4/20: Clippers go up in smoke, lose 7-6
Boxscore
John MeLoan blew the lead in the 7th, the Clippers came storming back to take the lead in the bottom of the 8th inning, then 'closer' Matt Herges gave the lead right back in the 9th. David Dellucci with a hit and a ribbie. Jordan Brown 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. David Huff with a solid start, 6 innings, 2 runs, 4 Ks. He is on a limited pitch count, otherwise he probably would have pitched the 7th and saved the club's lead from MeLoan. One disconcerting note is he has 2 walks in each start this year- this guy had freaky-good control in college and previously in the minors, hope this is just some wildness and not a sign of hitters adjusting.
On another minor league note, the Kinston Indians won 16-3. The top 3 hitters in the lineup- TIm Fedroff, Cord Phelps, and Lonnie Chisenhall- went a combined 9-for-17. Remember those 3, they were all high draft picks last year and have some good potential.

*UPDATED*
Bullpen's been beaten up the past couple of games, including Herges & Meloan, 2 of the best in the pen for the Clippers.
Hitting looks like it's clicking on all (well, most) cylinders. LaPorta, Valbuena, Aubrey, Brown continued their hot hitting.
Huff looked good in his 3rd start.
The catchers (Toregas & Gimenez) continue to struggle at the plate.
The starting pitchers have looked better.
