Everyone wins! And unlike yesterday, no one loses! The four teams combined to allow six runs today.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs sunk the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 4-3.
Starter Brandon Birdsell had a little trouble with the long ball, but otherwise pitched well on his way to his second Triple-A win. Birdsell allowed three runs on six hits over 5.2 innings. All three runs came on two home runs. Birdsell struck out six and walked two.
Jack Neely pitched the ninth inning and got the save after striking out the side in order on 15 pitches.
