Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs sunk the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 10-2.
Tommy Romero started and allowed just one run on three hits over 4.2 innings. The one run came on a second-inning home run by Milan Tolentino. Romero walked two and struck out one.
Nate Pearson got the win under the “most effective reliever” rule since Romero was an out short of five innings.
