AKRON, Ohio -- It was well less than a full house for the Akron RubberDucks home opener on Thursday, but the 7,671 in attendance at Canal Park got a taste of what this summer has to offer for the Cleveland Indians AA affiliate. They saw an offensive explosion in the bottom of the sixth, including a homer by Clint Frazier, that led to a 3-2 victory over the Bowie Baysox. Akron is now 6-1 on the season.
Indians outfielder Michael Brantley, on a rehab assignment, had Akron's lone hit through the first five innings and grounded out in his other at bat.
