Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: July 10
Pete Crow-ArmstrongThe Iowa Cubs were shut out by Indianapolis (Pirates), 2-0. The two teams split the six-game series.
Starter Javier Assad allowed just one baserunner over his three innings of work, but it was a solo home run in the second inning so he got the loss. Assad struck out three.
The two teams had three hits each.
Nick Madrigal had one of those hits in the first inning, but he was pinch-hit for the second time up. I can’t see how that is good.
Frank Schwindel played seven innings at first base and went 0 for 3.
Tennessee Smokies
The Tennessee Smokies dropped a double-header to the Birmingham Barons (White Sox), 8-7 and 2-1.
