Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: April 8
Miguel AmayaIn case you haven’t heard, the Rocket City Trash Pandas threw the first no-hitter of the minor league season in game one against the Chattanooga Lookouts. It was a seven-inning no-hitter, of course.
Why am I mentioning this? Because Rocket City lost the game 7-5.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs split a doubleheader with the St. Paul Saints (Twins), winning game one 9-7 and dropping the second one 8-5.
Starter Adrian Sampson put the I-Cubs in a hole early after giving up six runs, five earned, on three hits over 4.1 innings. Sampson walked six and hit one batter, so obviously he struggled with control. He did strike out six.
