The Iowa Cubs burned the Louisville Bats (Reds), 7-5.
Starter Caleb Kilian pitched 4.2 innings and was touched for two runs, one earned, on five hits. Kilian walked one and struck out three.
Because Kilian came one out short of five innings, the win went to Samuel Reyes in relief. But Reyes earned it with 2.1 scoreless innings, giving up just one hit. Reyes struck out three and walked one.
Whatever has been wrong with Cam Sanders this month, it continued tonight. Tasked to protect a 7-2 lead in the ninth, Sanders retired only one batter.
