Plutko's Gem Evens Series for Clippers

After being trounced 17-5 last night, tonight was the Clippers' turn to dominate at Huntington Park.
They scored eight runs on nine hits, and were aided by a fantastic performance from Adam Plutko (3-2) on the hill, to win game two of their three-game set against the Indianapolis Indians 8-0.

Yu Chang put Columbus on the board in the bottom of the second inning with a two-run blast to left off Indy starter Casey Sadler.
With a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, the Clippers loaded the bases ending Sadler's day.
Damien Magnifico came on in relief and was greeted by a Brandon Barnes RBI single to make it 3-0. He walked in three runs before being lifted for Josh Smoker. Gio Urshela singled in two runs off Smoker on a liner to left, extending the Clippers lead to 8-0.
All the while, Plutko had tossed five perfect innings. He continued his efforts into the eighth, and was even helped by a fantastic catch from Barnes in left to register the first out. Plutko was pulled with the perfect game intact with one out remaining in the eighth due to an elevated pitch count.
He went seven and two-thirds flawless frames and struck out six to win his third game of the year.
Neil Ramírez came on to finish things off for the Clippers, securing the 8-0 victory.
The teams will face off in the rubber match tomorrow at Huntington Park with first pitch scheduled for 2:05 p.m.
