Ike Freeman and Joe Naranjo both homer twice, Logan Allen and Rodney Boone pitch gems as affiliates sweep

Box Score · Clippers improve to 6-3

Columbus took advantage of five walks from the bottom of its order and the Clippers had a surprising offensive hero in Ike Freeman, a 14th round draft pick out of North Carolina in 2019. Freeman blasted a pair of two-run home runs to lead the offense.

Everyone but leadoff hitter Will Benson had at least one hit and most reached base safely twice. Catcher Mike Rivera was perfect at the plate, going 1-for-1 for two walks and a sacrifice fly, Alex Call went 2-for-4 with a double and a hit by pitch, Oscar Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a double and a hit by pitch, Mitchell Tolman went 1-2 with a double and two walks and Jose Fermin went 1-for-3 with a walk.
