Clippers Whip Louisville 12-4

Paolo Espino was pitching on short rest, but the Clippers offense gave plenty of run support and beat the Louisville Bats, 12-4.

Down 1-0 heading into the third, the Clippers sent eight men to the plate, scoring five runs and they never relinquished the lead.

Overall, the Columbus offense produced 16 hits and tagged Bats' starter Chad Reineke with seven runs in his five innings of work.

Beau Mills, Jared Goedert and Travis Buck all homered for the Clippers. Mills was a triple shy of the cycle, going 4-5 with one RBI and two runs scored. Argenis Reyes went 3-5 with two runs scored and one RBI.

Espino went four innings on short rest and struck out six in four innings pitched. Zach Putnam got the win, however, improving to 6-3 on the season after his two scoreless innings of work tonight.

After taking three of four from Louisville, the Clippers will host the Toledo Mud Hens for two games beginning Friday. Thursday will mark the first off-day for the club since August 3rd.
