Minor League Wrap -- August 13th

by Unique on Aug 14, 2010 3:32 PM CDT

Not trying to do Josh's job, but obviously something is not right because he usually does these everyday. In the past, I have been the one to fill in due to emergencies, so I will post yesterday's wrap, if no one disapproves. If needed, I will do this until Josh returns but I assume he will tonight.

Iowa Cubs

The Iowa Cubs shutout the Fresno Grizzles and won 5-0.

Austin Bibens-Dirkx got the win, pitching seven shutout innings, allowing three hits. Bibens-Dirkx walked two and struck out three. Bibens-Dirkx is 5-0 with a 1.97 ERA since being promoted to Iowa this season.

Second baseman Bobby Scales went 1 for 3 with a two-run home run in the second inning. Micah Hoffpauir went 2-4 with a RBI. Recently promoted catcher Robinson Chirinos went 2 for 4. Chirinos did commit an error however.

Tennessee Smokies

The Smokies defeated the Chattanooga Lookouts 8-4.

Christopher Rusin started and picked up the win. Rusin pitched six innings allowing seven hits and he only walked one. Rusin struck out six.

Right fielder Matthew Spencer hit a huge three run homer in the fourth. It was Spencer's fifteenth homer of the year. First baseman Blake Lalli had three hits in four at-bats, raising his season average to .316.

Daytona Cubs

Rained out. Double-header today.

Peoria Chiefs

Also rained out, game will not be made up.

Boise Hawks

The Boise Hawks lost to the Tri-City Devils, 4-1.

Austin Kirk started the game and took the loss, going 4.2 innings, allowing seven hits, and two runs. Kirk didn't walk anyone and struck out three.

Second baseman Pierre LePage went 2-4 with two doubles.

AZL Cubs

The Arizona Cubs lost to the Arizona Mariners, 5-3.

Thanks for doing this!!

Al might consider an update or explanation when the regular post doesn’t appear. I get used to reading it each morning. Thanks for filling that gap.

I did post Josh's tweet from last night in the comments in the game recap.

I’ll make a note tomorrow morning again in case Josh has wifi problems again. Obviously, tweeting is about the only way he can get word out — if he doesn’t have wifi, he can’t email me to tell me he can’t do it.

Thanks to Unique for posting this.
