Iowa Cubs News Release
DES MOINES, IA - The Iowa Cubs (60-46) gave up two runs in the 10th inning to fall by a score of 6-4 to the Toledo Mud Hens (47-60) in the series finale, Sunday at Principal Park.
The I-Cubs got in front in the first on a bases loaded walk by Pete Crow-Armstrong to take a 1-0 lead. It stayed that way until the third, when Colt Keith used a two-run double to put Toledo ahead 2-1.
Iowa swung back in front in the fifth on a sacrifice fly from David Bote and a wild pitch that allowed Miles Mastrobuoni to score. Chris Clarke held the 3-2 lead for the I-Cubs, tossing 3.0 scoreless innings.
The righty didn't allow a single hit, walking one and striking out two of the 10 batters he faced. As soon as Clarke came out, the Mud Hens got back in front, scoring on a sacrifice fly and an RBI single from Justyn-Henry Malloy.
Yonathan Perlaza quickly evened the score with a solo home run in Iowa's half of the sixth inning, his 16th of the year. The game stayed tied 4-4 until the 10th, when Keith drove in another run with his second double of the game.
He later came around to score on a sacrifice fly, moving Toledo's lead to 6-4. That was all the Mud Hens needed as they won their fifth game of the series.
POSTGAME NOTES:
After two days off, Yonathan Perlaza went back to business out of the leadoff spot for Iowa. The switch hitter went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, a home run and a run batted in, growing his batting average to .293 on the year with Iowa.
