Clippers Prevail, 3-2, Over Norfolk
The Columbus Clippers got a rain-soaked win over the Norfolk Tides.

The Columbus Clippers earned a close win over the Norfolk Tides, thanks in part to Cristóbal Méndez. The Columbus right-hander, who leads the IL with a 1.02 WHIP, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Earning the save was Vito Porchianelo. He's now cashed in 3 of 4 save opportunities.

Had Mallex Smith not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Smith hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Clippers.

"Cristóbal is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said Columbus manager Carlos Garcia.

Columbus has won 5 straight games.
