Cleveland Guardians minor league recap for Monday, May 12, 2025

Box Score · Clippers fall to 16-20

Columbus was shut out Sunday on six hits. Half of those hits were courtesy of Christian Cairo, who went 3-for-5 with a stolen base. Unfortunately, the Clippers went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Dom Nunez and Will Brennan both walked twice to reach base safely two times.

Starting pitcher Slade Cecconi had a decent game, just missing a quality start by one out. He allowed two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and no walks in 5.2 innings.

Parker Mushinski added a scoreless relief appearance and Bradley Hanner finished off the game with 2.0 perfect innings with three strikeouts.

Akron RubberDucks 2, Somerset Patriots 1

Box Score · RubberDucks improve to 21-12

This game was scoreless until the eighth inning, when Cooper Ingle blasted a two-run home run to knock home Cameron Barstad to give the RubberDucks a 2-0 lead.

Barstad went 2-for-3 while Dayan Frias walked twice. No one else reached base safely two times.

Starting pitcher Aaron Davenport was phenomenal again, throwing his second consecutive outing of 6.0 scoreless innings. This time he allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked two. Davenport might be a diamond in the rough for Cleveland if he can prove this is real at Triple-A soon.
