Pitchers 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.
