In three games at Principal Park this season, the Iowa Cubs have struggled at the dish. This has not been more true than on Monday afternoon, when the Chicago Triple-A affiliate found itself on the wrong end of a near-perfect game tossed by Oklahoma City right-hander Scott Baker.

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Iowa second baseman Addison Russell lined a single to break up Baker’s bid at perfection – which was the infielder’s first hit at home this season.
