Cubs Star Pitcher Mark Prior Scheduled To Face Z's Tuesday at Zephyr Field

New Orleans Baby Cakes News Release


Metairie, LA - Chicago Cubs All-Star pitcher Mark Prior is scheduled to make a rehab start against the New Orleans Zephyrs on Tuesday, June 13th at 7:00 PM as a member of the Iowa Cubs. The Zephyrs are offering a non-refundable discount to the game - all reserved tickets will be only $5.

Prior has been on the Disabled List the entire 2006 season with a sore right shoulder, and is also making rehab starts with the Cubs' Single-A affiliate in Peoria, IL and the Double-A affiliate in Jackson, TN.

Prior was named to the National League All-Star team and was third in Cy Young voting in 2003 - his first full major league season. In 2005 Prior went 11-7 with a 3.67 ERA - his second career double-digit win season despite starting the year on the DL with an elbow injury.

This is the second time Prior is scheduled to play at Zephyr Field - he faced Houston Astros star and former Zephyrs pitcher Wade Miller on May 17, 2002 before a crowd of almost 9,000. Prior suffered the loss after giving up five runs on six hits in four innings of play.

Prior will be the second high-profile big league pitcher the Zephyrs are scheduled to face, as they will also face Roger Clemens in a game at Round Rock, TX against the Round Rock Express on Friday, June 16th.

For more information about the New Orleans Zephyrs or to purchase tickets, call the Zephyrs office at (504) 734-5155.
