Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: May 3
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Congratulations to Tennessee Smokies pitcher Tyson Miller, who was your choice for the Minor League Pitcher of the Month!
Mike Montgomery was terrific in a six-inning rehab start. Montgomery allowed just one run on one hout. He walked two and struck out three.
Tim Collins, Dakota Mekkes and Rowan Wick each pitched a scoreless inning of relief. Mekkes gave up two hits—the only other two hits in the Cubs combined 3-hitter.
Third baseman Phillip Evans hit a two-run home run in the second inning to give Iowa a 2-1 lead that they’d never surrender. It was Evans’ second home of the season. Evans was 2 for 5 and scored twice.
