COLUMBUS - John Rodriguez went 2-for-3 and drove in four runs to lead Columbus to a 6-3 win over Louisville in the International League Monday night.
Louisville built a 3-0 lead on Jermaine Clark's solo homer and Rob Stratton's RBI single in the first inning, and Brandon Larson's solo homer in the third.
Larson, whom the Cincinnati Reds sent to Louisville on Thursday for a rehab assignment, went 1-for-3.
Rodriguez answered later in the third with a two-run double off Juan Cerros (2-5), and Andy Phillips capped the rally with an RBI single, making it 3-3.
In the sixth, Louisville left-hander Pete Hartmann hit Dioner Navarro with a pitch, allowing Felix Escalona to score the go-ahead run. Rodriguez then added a two-run single.
Colter Bean (8-3) pitched 2 2-3 innings of no-hit ball, striking out four for the win. Bret Prinz pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save of the year.
Cerros allowed five earned runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked three.
