Game Story

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) -- Andy Beal threw seven strong
innings to grab his first win of the season as the Columbus
Clippers defeated the Buffalo Bisons, 7-2. Beal (1-2) allowed
two runs, scattered seven hits and fanned four batters, helping
Columbus to its sixth win its last seven home games. Nate
Rolison, who singled and scored in the bottom of the first
inning, doubled in two runs in the third and then came home on a
two-run single by Ryan McGuire. Michel Hernandez added a
lead-off homer in the fourth for the Clippers. Victor Martinez,
who is hitting .536 (15-for-28) in his last seven games, drove
in both runs for Buffalo with a double in the sixth inning.
Jeremy Guthrie (0-2) gave up seven runs -- five earned -- and 12
hits in five innings, striking out five and walking a batter to
absorb the loss for the Bisons, who lost for the 11th time in
12 games to fall out of first place in the International League
North Division.
