The Iowa Cubs lost to Indianapolis (Pirates), 18-6.
Thomas Pannone has been good this year, but tonight he had his worst start of the season, giving up six runs, four earned, on five hits over just two innings. Two of those five hits were two-run home runs. Pannone walked two and struck out no one.
Daniel Palencia faced three batters in a rehab appearance. He walked the first one, struck out the second one and walked the third one. One of those walks came around to score.
Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a monster solo home run in the third inning. Crow-Armstrong went 2 for 5 with two runs batted in.
