The Iowa Cubs broke the Louisville Bats (Reds), 4-2.

Matt Swarmer started and got the win after giving up just two runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out six and walked no one.

James Bourque pitched the next two innings and didn’t allow a hit. He did walk one batter while striking out four.

Erich Uelmen closed the door with a two-inning save. He allowed two hits—singles to the first two batters he faced in the eighth inning—and then he retired the next six batters in order.
