Caleb KilianBaseball America named outfielder Owen Caissie as the Cubs’ Minor League Player of the Year. Despite only turning 21 in July, Caissie hit .289/.399/.519 with 31 doubles and 22 home runs in 120 games for Double-A Tennessee.
Only Iowa was in action tonight.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs were bitten by the Louisville Bats (Reds), 9-1. The loss snaps Iowa’s eight-game winning streak.
Caleb Kilian started and took the loss. Kilian gave up a solo home run in the second inning and three runs in the third and Iowa never caught up. Kilian’s final line was six runs, five earned, on eight hits over 5.1 innings. Kilian did strike out eight and walked only one, so that was a positive.
