Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs sent the Columbus Clippers (Guardians) to Davy Jones’ Locker, 13-6.
Jordan Wicks didn’t look great, but he did managed to keep the Clippers from scoring for four innings. So the results were great. His final line was no runs on two hits over four innings. He walked four and struck out four.
The win went to Zac Leigh because Wicks didn’t go five innings. Leigh allowed one run on one hit and two walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out three.
Iowa had 17 hits this afternoon and everyone in the lineup had at least one.
In the third inning, DH BJ Murray hit a solo home run, his sixth of the season. Murray went 2 for 5 with a walk, a double and the home run. He scored three times.
In the fifth inning, right fielder Kevin Alcántara hit his league-leading 13 home run 417 feet with the bases empty. Alcántara was 1 for 4 with two walks. He scored three times.
First baseman Jonathon Long went 3 for 5 with a double. Long drove home two and scored once.
Second baseman James Triantos was 2 for 4 with a sac fly and an RBI double. He drove in three runs total and scored twice.
Left fielder Owen Miller was 3 for 4 with an RBI triple and a walk. He scored once and had two total RBI.
Ben Cowles was was 2 for 2 with a double. He scored one run.
Some great defense from shortstop Scott Kingery, who was 1 for 2 at the plate.
Murray’s home run.
The blast by The Jaguar.
A double by Triantos.
The Columbus right fielder, Kahil Watson, was OK after this triple by Miller and stayed in the game. But this looks scary.
Knoxville Smokies
The Knoxville Smokies overthrew the Birmingham Barons (White Sox), 4-3.
Tyler Schlaffer put in a strong start with five scoreless innings and just one hit. He struck out seven and walked just one.
Jackson Kirkpatrick relieved Schlaffer and gave up three runs and the lead in the top of the sixth. But he ended up getting the win when the Smokies came back in the bottom of the inning. Kirkpatrick’s final line was three runs, but only one earned, on no hits and three walks. He struck out two.
Vince Reilly pitched the final two innings, didn’t allow a run or a hit and collected the save. Reilly struck out five and walked one.
The Smokies took and early 2-0 lead on DH Ariel Armas’ first home run of the year. Armas went 1 for 4 with a walk and the two RBI.
The Smokies tied it back up in the sixth on a solo home run by catcher Owen Ayers. It was Ayers’ tenth overall home run and fourth in Double-A. Ayers was 1 for 3 with a walk.
Right fielder Alex Ramirez tripled right after Ayers’ home run and scored the eventual winning run on an Edgar Alvarez sac fly. Ramirez was 3 for 4 with the triple and two runs scored. Alvarez was 0 for 1 with a walk and the sac fly.

South Bend Cubs
The South Bend broke down against the Lansing Lugnuts (Athletics), 8-5.
Cole Reynolds got out of the first inning with no runs, but he let the first five batters of the second inning reach, and all five of them came around to score. Reynolds ended up getting the loss after allowing five runs on three hits and four walks over 1+ innings. He struck out one.
Shortstop Ty Southisene is having little trouble adapting to High-A. Today he was a perfect 2 for 2 with a triple and two walks. He also stole a base. Southisene is now hitting .417 with a .483 OBP over six games with South Bend. Southisene scored twice and drove in two.
Catcher Justin Stransky went 3 for 4 and scored one run.
Southisene’s triple.
Myrtle Beach Pelicans
The Pelicans were in Hickory playing the Crawdads, but a fire broke out at their stadium last night.
So today and tomorrow’s games have been cancelled. They will not be made up.
