Box Score · Clippers improve to 55-41
Bo Naylor, Will Brennan, and Bobby Bradley all homered as the Columbus Clippers thrashed the Louisville Bats. Hunter Gaddis twirled six and allowed three, striking out six and picking off a runner along the way.
I choose to highlight Will Benson. Two walks and a hit from the leadoff spot is acceptable. The 2016 first round pick (ahead of Nolan Jones and various others) slashes ahead to .279/.427/.529 this season at Triple-A. He is Rule 5 draft eligible if not added to the 40-man roster this off-season, though decisions with Franmil Reyes and Alex Call may create vacancies.
