End of 5, Columbus leads Lehigh 2-1 behind Martinez. Double by Diaz and a homer by Carlin accounting for all the Indian runs.

Carmona with full counts to all Texas batters walks the first two batters to start off the Ranger home half of the second.

80 pitches thrown in 1 1/2 innings of work.

What has he been getting out of it lately ? Nothing. As long as the pitching was good he looked good. This guy is way way over rated.

36 pitches by Carmona, 16 for strikes.

Carmona does a Houdini act and ends the inning unscored upon. A whopping 92 pitches between Ogando and Carmona thrown through 2 innings of play. No score end of 2.

We've had a Lot of 1 run losses in August, Rusty. Except for a couple of blowout losses to Detroit and Texas, this team has been very competitive all year long, even during these past few weeks. I still think Acta is a good manager and not at all over-rated.

Columbus leads Lehigh 3-1 with Lehigh batting in the home half of the 8th. Seven innings pitched by Martinez. Three hits, one run, two walks, and thirteen strikeouts. Lee on in relief.

Walk, stolen base, error on the throw to second, and a ground gets a run home off of Lee. 3-2.

With runners on first and second and two outs, Lee gets Josh Barfield to fly out to end the inning. Heading into the 9th, Clippers 3 Ironpigs 2.

Texas breaks the game open with five in the fifth. Big blows, a bases clearing double by Young and a two-run blast by Adrian Beltre.

JOE: You are confusing me with the minor league pbp in here.

I see that Carmona imploded, giving up a bases-loaded double, and then an homer!

I don't think we have a pbp for the minor league games. Just giving updates. Columbus just put 3 on the board in the 9th to take a 6-2 lead still batting with the bases loaded in the 9th.

We're on the board with a run in the 6th. Runners on first and second, one out, Chisenhall batting.

Burns retires the side in order in the 9th. Clippers a winner 6-2.
