Minor League Recap - High Scoring Excitement in Lake County
TOL 3 - COL 4. The Columbus Clippers bested the Toledo Mud Hens (DET) Friday night. Triston McKenzie made his first start in AAA since being sent down. He started the game strong, striking out the side in 10 pitches. The rest of the night wasn’t as dominant; starting the 2nd with 2 walks, starting the 4th with a leadoff solo HR, a wild pitch in the 5th, and another solo HR in the top of the 6th before being replaced. But when Triston was on, the batters couldn’t touch him. Triston struck out 8 Toledo batters. McKenzie looked confident despite it all and hopefully this will give him the space to correct and adjust his mechanics so that he can rejoin the Guardians soon. McKenzie threw 85 pitches in 5.1 IP. He gave up 3 H, 3 R, and 2 BB.
Expo features inclusive outdoor activities
Good weather and steady attendance helped make the second annual Disabled and Proud Fest Outdoor Expo at Swan Creek Metropark in Toledo a success on Saturday.

On hand were organizations that help people with disabilities navigate life, including the co-collaborator of the event, Metroparks Toledo, which showcased its inclusive equipment, like the Action Trackchair, which helps those with mobility difficulties access different parts of the Metroparks. But more than resources, the focus at Disabled and Proud was the community.

Toledo native first in world to receive innovative new heart valve
For much of her life, Sandie Zaruca knew she had a leaky valve in her heart, but she never imagined that someday she would be helping pioneer her own treatment. In May, the 74-year-old Sylvania resident and former office supply store owner was the first in the world to receive a new type of heart valve, implanted by Dr. Michael Moront, a cardiothoracic surgeon at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. The bioprosthetic valve, called the Avalus Ultra, takes cow tissue and pairs it with medical-grade fabric and a special type of thermoplastic to replicate the function of a human heart valve. Dr. Moront, who was part of the team that helped develop the Avalus Ultra, said he felt comfortable performing the procedure.
