Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: August 12
Luis VerdugoI hope some of you watched the “Road to Wrigley” wraparound broadcast tonight. If you did, please tell us about it in the comments. Personally, I don’t have the Marquee Sports Network, so I didn’t see it. But I am curious as to how it went.
The Iowa Cubs broke the Louisville Bats (Reds), 9-5.
Javier Assad threw the first six innings and gave up just one run on five hits. He struck out five and walked no one, but he did hit one batter.
Steven Brault relieved Assad in a rehab assignment and retired the side in order in the sixth inning. He struck out two. Brault threw ten pitches, seven for strikes.
