COLUMBUS, OH – Playing for the first time at home this season as "Los Veleros", Columbus defeated the visiting Toledo Mud Hens on Thursday, 3-2.
Left-handed hurler Doug Nikhazy once again turned in a stellar outing for the crowd at Huntington Park. He went 6.0+ innings and improved his record on the season to 3-3. Nikhazy surrendered just one run, which came in the 2nd inning in the form of a RBI single by Tomás Nido.
Columbus promptly turned things around in the bottom of the 2nd, when Yordys Valdes and Milan Tolentino hit back-to-back solo home runs, giving the ClipShow a 2-1 advantage.
Then in the 6th, it was Johnathan Rodriguez's turn to play long ball, as he crushed his 7th homer of the season to make it 3-1 Veleros.
