Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: April 15
Kevin AlcántaraSome days you win. Some days you lose. And some days it rains. And on days like today, it does all three.
Iowa Cubs
Rained out. Doubleheader tomorrow starting at 1:08 Central.
Tennessee Smokies
Rained out. Doubleheader tomorrow starting at 1:30 Central.
South Bend Cubs
The South Bend Cubs shot down the Beloit Sky Carp (Marlins), 9-1.
Brad Birdsell wasn’t as good as he was in his first pro start—he threw three no-hit innings in that one. But he was still pretty darn good in his second start, allowing just one run on two hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. Birdsell struck out two.
