The Iowa Cubs calmed the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals), 8-3. The win snapped a seven-game losing streak by the I-Cubs.
Stephen Gonsalves surrendered just one hit and no runs to the Storm Chasers over the first 2.2 innings. Gonsalves struck out four and walked no one.
Because Gonsalves didn’t go five innings, Brandon Hughes was awarded the win despite allowing two runs on two hits over 1.1 innings. Both runs came on a home run by Nate Eaton in the fourth. Hughes did not walk or strike anyone out.
Nick Burdi allowed a solo home run in the ninth in a rehab assignment.
