I can’t believe it’s August already.
The Smokies were down a couple pitchers after the Trade Deadline, so right-hander Tommy Romero was demoted from Triple-A Iowa to Double-A Knoxville and left-hander Evan Taylor was promoted to Knoxville from Low-A South Bend. South Bend lefty Marino Santy was activated off the Development List.
Remember how the Smokies lost seven in a row coming out of the All-Star Break? Well, they’ve now won six in a row after snapping the losing streak.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs lost to Indianapolis (Pirates), 8-5 in ten innings.
