The Lake County Captains became the first half champions of the Midwest League with their win on Saturday night in what was, otherwise, a disappointing weekend for Guardians’ affiliates.
Saturday: Iowa Cubs 3, Columbus Clippers 2
Gavin Williams’ velocity looked good but his command wasn’t quite there enough to put hitters away and his pitch count in an inning forced him to complete his work in the pen after 1.2 innings and allowing one run. Jose Tena’s single drove in Bryan Lavastida after he had doubled and a groundout from Tena drove in Christian Cairo after a triple later on.
