DES MOINES, IA. - The Iowa Cubs dropped the fifth straight game with a 5-1 loss to the Toledo Mud Hens in a rain-shortened game.
In the second game of the series, Andrew Navigato got the Mud Hens going with a solo shot to center field.
Chase Strumpf answered back with his 12th homer of the season and tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the second inning, but that was all Iowa could muster in the seven innings of play.
In the top of the third inning, Toledo ripped an RBI-double into right field and scored another run for the 2-1 lead.
The next three runs from the Mud Hens came in the top of the sixth inning as Jace Jung ripped a solo shot into right field and extended the lead to two runs. Two singles later, Navigato hit his 15th double of the season and plated two runners for the 5-1 lead and the final score as play was stopped due to heavy rain.
