Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs were leaky against the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 6-5.
Tommy Romero started and gave up three runs on six hits over five innings. Romero struck out eight and walked just one.
The I-Cubs scored three runs in the bottom of the eight to take the lead, but Riley Martin melted down in the save role, giving up three runs on three hits in one inning.
