Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: July 17
Chesny Young - Larry Kave/Myrtle Beach PelicansTwo home runs or five-for-five? Which one is the bigger story?
Dallas Beeler started for the I-Cubs and he gave up three runs on six hits over six innings. One of the runs was unearned. Beeler struck out five and walked only one.
The I-Cubs had a big 9-3 lead in the 8th when Yoervis Medina entered the game and got hammered for four runs in only a third of an inning. Included in those four runs was a three-run home run.
Brian Schlitter pitched a scoreless ninth to get his 12th save. Schlitter allowed a walk to Stephen Piscotty with two outs, but Piscotty was thrown out stealing second base to end the game.
