COLUMBUS – A grand slam by Zack Collins was the highlight of the Clippers’ six-run fifth inning and the Columbus bullpen stifled a ninth-inning rally Sunday to guarantee a 9-5 win in the finale of a six-game series at Huntington Park.
With his team trailing 9-2, Jake Slaughter hit a three-run homer to cut the deficit to 9-5 but closer Caleb Baragar retired the final three Cubs hitters to preserve the win for Touki Toussaint (2-1).
