SALT LAKE CITY (Aug. 18) - The Salt Lake Bees took an 8-2 loss to the Iowa Cubs in the series opener Wednesday night at Smith's Ballpark.

The home team put another run up in the fourth when Alex Yarbrough led off the inning with a single and later scored from third on a sacrifice fly from Rafael Lopez. Iowa quickly regained the two runs in the fifth on an RBI double from Christian Villanueva followed by a sacrifice fly from Tommy La Stella and put another tally up in the eighth to pad their lead and cement the final score.
