Just a bad night all around.
Everyone loses. Sorry about that.
Three pitchers made their Cubs system debuts for Iowa tonight, starting with Felipe Paulino. Paulino pitched the first four innings and allowed four runs, three earned, on four hits. Control was a real issue for Paulino as he walked five, hit one batter and had a wild pitch. Paulino did strike out four.
Paulino was relieved by Daniel Schlereth, who pitched a scoreless fifth inning in his Cubs debut. Schlereth didn't allow a hit, but he did walk two batters after two were out.
