Into every successful minor league season, a little rain must fail. Metaphorically. There were no rained-out games tonight. Just four losses.
The Iowa Cubs were beaten by the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals), 10-5.
Brandon Liebrandt was promoted to Triple-A and he started tonight. Liebrandt did fine as he allowed two runs on four hits over four innings. He did walk four batters (not good!) and struck out three.
The loss went to Samuel Reyes, who struggled tonight in his first game off the Injured List. Reyes gave up five runs, four earned, on four hits over 1.
