Double-A, High-A and Low-A leagues will both have best-of-five championship series that will match the two teams with the best records. Triple-A and the Complex Leagues will not have playoffs, but the Triple-A Leagues are adding ten games to the end of every team’s schedule.
The Iowa Cubs stopped Indianapolis (Pirates), 5-2.
Trevor Williams made a rehab assignment and pitched five innings, allowing just two hits and one run, which was unearned. Williams struck out three and walked one.
