I wish I had better news today.
The Iowa Cubs were drenched by the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), 8-2.
Brandon Leibrandt started and had trouble keeping the ball inside Principal Park, as he allowed three home runs in just five innings. Leibrandt took the loss after giving up six runs on nine hits. He struck out three and walked one.
Iowa had three hits in this game, but two of them were solo home runs. Left fielder Narciso Crook, a day after his four-game HR streak ended, started a new one with a home run in the second inning.
