Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: April 23
Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty ImagesOne thing I learned a long time ago is that it simply does not matter how well a major leaguer on a minor-league rehab assignment plays. What matters is that he played and how well he feels afterwards. That’s pretty much it.
The Iowa Cubs were echolocated by the Louisville Bats (Reds), 4-3.
Alec Mills started this game on a rehab assignment and took the loss. Mills went three innings and gave up three runs on eight hits, including a two-run home run. Mills did strike out five and walked no one. Mills threw 62 pitches, 42 for strikes.
Final line for RHP Alec Mills in his MLB Rehab w/@IowaCubs: 3 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 5 K, 0 BB.
