Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: July 20
Frank Schwindel Neville E. Guard-USA TODAY Sports The Iowa Cubs sunk the Columbus Clippers (Cleveland), 15-7.
It was a rough start for the I-Cubs Mike Hauschild, who gave up four home runs in his 3.2 innings of work. At least only five runs scored on those four home runs. Hauschild finished allowing six runs on seven hits. He walked two and struck out two.
The win went to Michael Rucker, who pitched three innings of relief and gave up just one run on three hits. The one run scored on, you guessed it, a solo home run. Rucker struck out one and walked no one.
While the Cubs pitchers gave up five home runs, they hit three and won easily by hammering out 14 hits.
