Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: June 3

Bryce BallThe Iowa Cubs were edged by the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 8-7 in ten innings.

Starter Brandon Leibrandt pitched 4.1 innings and allowed six runs on eight hits. Three of those eight hits were home runs, which explains a lot of Leibrandt’s struggles. He did strike out five and he walked no one.

Erich Uelmen came on to pitch the ninth inning looking for a save, but he gave up a two-out RBI double to tie the game and send it to extras. Uelmen went on to pitch the tenth and allowed the automatic runner to score, which earned him the loss. Uelmen gave up two runs, one earned, on one hit over two innings. Uelmen walked two and struck out two.

The final play of the game was a double play…
