COLUMBUS, OH - Now this is a story all about how, the Clippers-Cubs game got flipped, turned upside down. I'd like to tell you a story, just sit real tight, I'll tell you how we won a close game on Dime-A-Dog Night.
In Mission Viejo, born and raised, at the ballpark is where Milan Tolentino spent most of his days. Tuesday he was chillin out, maxin, relaxin' all cool as his 6th inning homer brought the Clippers to within two.
Then a couple of Cubs who were up to no good, starting making trouble in our neighborhood. We had a couple bad innings but then in the 8th, the Clippers scored three times to make the fans feel great.
Andy Tracy whistled for a reliever from the bullpen, his name was Franco Aleman and he was 6-foot-seven. He closed out the Cubs to seal the win, lowering his ERA to 1.10 and earning save number ten.
If anything I can say that this team is fun, they trailed most of the game but eventually won by one. The Clippers looked at their kingdom as they won in a snap, the crowd went wild as they did the Clipp Clap.
The win gives Columbus a record of 70-60 for the season, while Iowa falls to 56-74.
