Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: July 12
Jason VoslerDylan HeuerAlec Mills didn’t make it out of the third inning, giving up five runs on five hits over 2.1 innings. A bigger issue may be that Mills walked four while striking out just three.
Trailing 8-2 going to the bottom of the eighth, Iowa put together a five-run rally, highlighted by a streak of four straight doubles. But that was as far as Iowa’s comeback went. They put two on with two outs in the ninth, but again failed to tie the score.
First baseman Chris Coghlan hit his first I-Cubs home run since 2016 with the bases empty in the fourth inning. Coghlan had a big night, going 3 for 5 and scoring twice.
