Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: August 18
Alec MillsYu Darvish is scheduled to start in South Bend on Sunday afternoon.
Alec Mills turned in a solid start tonight, allowing just two runs on three hits over six innings. Mills gave up a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning. He walked two and struck out seven.
James Norwood pitched both extra innings and the only baserunner he allowed (other than the ones that started on second) was an intentional walk in the tenth inning. Norwood struck out three and got his first career Iowa win.
Right fielder Jacob Hannemann scored the first Iowa run of the game with a solo home run in the seventh inning. Hannemann was 2 for 5 and now has four home runs this year.
