I had to double check to see if my memory is accurate and I was right. This is the first appearance of Ildemaro Vargas as a Superhero. It’s well earned after Vargas keyed the Cubs’ third inning rally. After a the Cubs opened the inning with a double and a single, Vargas drove in the first two runs with a triple and then he scored via sacrifice fly. So Vargas accounted for all three of the runs. Vargas had been swinging a pretty hot bat at Iowa and so it’s good for him to carry that over to the big club.
