Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: August 22

Cory Abbott got the start and he gave up one run on four hits over 5.1 innings. The one run he allowed was a home run to a rehabbing Byron Buxton. Abbott walked four and struck out five.

Dillon Maples relieved Abbott in the sixth inning with runners on first and second and one out and got out of the inning without allowing a run to score. Maples faced three batters: the first one grounded out and the second one was hit by a pitch to load the bases. But he struck out the final one to end the inning and his day.
