6/10/07: Clips Shutdown Chiefs

Emiliano Fruto's return from the DL helped Columbus to their first victory in six tries against the Syracuse Chiefs on Sunday. He pitched 6 scoreless innings and the bullpen kept it going as the Columbus Clippers defeated Syracuse 4-0. The Clippers (28-35) were sparked by a 2nd inning 2-run homer by D'Angelo Jimenez, which proved to be more than enough. Syracuse starter, John Thomson, took the loss to drop to 2-3. However, the Chiefs' offense did nothing to help him in his effort, as no runner even made it past 2nd base, despite 7 hits. Brandon Watson kept his 37 game hitting streak alive with a single against Thomson in the 5th.

Syracuse outfielder Jeff Duncan, who has been on the DL since his horrific collision with the scoreboard wall at Alliance Bank Stadium, has been taken off the DL and is day-to-day.

These teams continue their series on Monday in Columbus.
