The Iowa Cubs were boarded and seized by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 7-2.
Adrian Houser turned in a great start and got the loss anyway. Houser allowed just one run on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.
Columbus scored four runs in the seventh inning—including three off of Daniel Palencia in just a third of an inning—to put this game out of reach.
Iowa only had two hits in this game and both runs were scored in the bottom of the ninth. Left fielder Trayce Thompson singled home Kevin Alcántara with two outs in the ninth for the first Iowa run. Thompson was 1 for 4 and later scored on an error. Alcántara went 0 for 4.
