Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: July 15
Greg DeichmannPitchers Jordan Wicks and DJ Herz were both promoted to Double-A Tennessee.
The Iowa Cubs hunted down the Buffalo Bison (Blue Jays), 3-1.
Matt Dermody, who I guess I’m obligated to mention is a Des Moines-area native, got the win with five strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits. He walked no one and struck out four.
Erich Uelmen allowed a one-out single in the ninth, but no other baserunners in his one inning of work to get the save. Uelmen struck out two.
Center fielder Greg Deichmann drove in all three I-Cubs runs with a three-run home run in the fourth inning. It was Deichmann’s seventh home run of the season. Deichmann also doubled in a 2 for 3 evening.
