Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs cleaned the Colorado Springs Sky Sox (Brewers), 1-0.
Jake Buchanan pitched the first six innings for Iowa and gave up just one hit, a one-out infield single in the fourth. Buchanan walked two, one intentionally after a batter reached on an error, and struck out five.
Jean Machi got the win after tossing 1.1 innings and allowing two hits. The big play was when Eric Young Jr. doubled and then tried to score from second base on a bloop single and was thrown out at home. Machi struck out one.
Spencer Patton pitched the ninth inning for his third save. He allowed one hit, no walks and struck out two.
Ryan Kalish led off the eighth inning with a single. He stole second, he stole third and then scored the only run of the game on a Logan Watkins pinch-hit sac fly. Kalish was 1 for 3 with a walk.
Albert Almora was 1 for 2 in this game and exited in the fourth inning with a stomach bug. So you can stop worrying.
