Starter Adrian Sampson was the victim of non-support, as they used to say. Sampson took the loss despite giving up just one run on six hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out one.
Iowa had four hits in this game, all singles. Center fielder Trayce Thompson was 1 for 2 with two walks.
Tennessee Smokies
The Tennessee Smokies evaded detection by the Chattanooga Lookouts (Reds), 3-2.
It was bullpen day for the Smokies so Wyatt Short got his first career start. He exceeded all expectations by throwing three innings without allowing a run or a hit.
