Despite the lack of star slugger Kris Bryant in the lineup for the first time this season, the Iowa Cubs played in front of a packed Principal Park on Friday night, falling to the Oklahoma City Dodgers by a 3-2 final in the club’s home opener.
Oklahoma City (7-2) opened the scoring in the top of the fourth against Iowa starter Tsuyoshi Wada when Chris Heisey clubbed a line-drive solo blast to left field. The veteran’s homer marked the only blemish on the record of the Cubs left-hander, who struck out six in 4 2/3 innings of four-hit ball.
