Charlotte Keeps Trending in Wrong Direction
The Columbus Clippers defeated the Charlotte Knights by the score of 6-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Jesús Castro. Castro went 4 for 4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times for the Clippers on the day. Columbus pitcher Orlando Galindo earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0. Chris Fletcher suffered the loss. The Knights fall to 8-14 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2026 season.

Castro contributed in the bottom of the first. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double. It was one at-bat among others that helped Columbus get the win.

Castro expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
