Catcher Steve Clevenger was promoted to Iowa. All of a sudden, the I-Cubs are worth watching.
Iowa Cubs
But not tonight because they were rained out. Double-header in New Orleans tomorrow.
Tennessee Smokies
The Smokies were griddle-fried by the Montgomery Biscuits, 5-1.
Trey McNutt started and pitched four innings. He gave up five runs on seven hits. McNutt walked three and struck out two.
Catcher Luis Flores was 2 for 4 with a run scored. Shortstop Matt Camp was 2 for 3.
Daytona Cubs
The Daytona Cubs lost to the St. Lucie Mets, 3-1.
A very strong start tonight from Jeffry Antigua. He just had the bad fortune to match up with a former Cy Young award winner for the first three innings. Antigua pitched seven innings and allowed three runs on seven hits. He didn't walk anyone and struck out eight.
Johan Santana allowed two hits tonight. Shortstop Rafael Valdes doubled off of Santana, and he was 3 for 4 overall.
They had highlights from this game on the MLB Network. That was kind of cool.
Peoria Chiefs

Eric Jokisch pitched a gem tonight. He threw 6.2 innings of shutout baseball, allowing only four hits. He only walked one and struck out seven.

He got a lineout double-play to end the eighth inning, but he opened the ninth with a walk, a single, a wild pitch scoring a run and then capped it off by allowing a game-ending two-run home run. Gonzalez allowed three runs over two-thirds of an inning.
