It’s the “everyone loses” edition of the Minor League Wrap. But at least the Smokies actually played, although their bench and bullpen was made up of players promoted from South Bend and the ACL.
The Iowa Cubs lost to Indianapolis (Pirates), 6-2.
Ryan Kellogg started and took the loss after giving up four runs on ten hits over five innings. Kellogg did not strike out anyone and walked four, although two of those were intentional.
Jared Young was 2 for 4 with an RBI triple in the fourth inning. He then scored on a Trent GIambrone ground out.
