Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: June 1
DJ HerzThe Iowa Cubs desecrated the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 13-3. The score was the exact reverse of last night’s 13-3 defeat.
Alec Mills started on a rehab assignment and allowed just one run on a solo home run to Jake Cave in the fourth inning. Mills’ final line was one run on four hits over 3.2 innings. He struck out three and walked no one. Mills threw 55 pitches, 35 of which counted as strikes. That’s good.
Eric Stout relieved Mills in the fourth inning, stranded the two inherited runners and got the win because Mills didn’t go five innings. Stout’s final line was one run on one hit and three walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out four.
