MEMPHIS, TN - The Iowa Cubs (23-22) allowed seven runs in two innings to drop game four to the Memphis Redbirds (25-21) by a score of 7-0, Friday at AutoZone Park.
The matchup started as a pitcher's duel, with Alec Mills and Aaron Brooks matching each other pitch-for-pitch. Mills allowed just two hits and a walk through three innings, while Brooks was perfect through three.
Unfortunately for Iowa, the scoreless innings would end in the fourth, when for the second time this series, Ben DeLuzio hit a grand slam against Sean Newcomb. Memphis wasn't done there, scoring three more runs in the fifth to break it open 7-0.
With the seven-run lead, Brooks stayed aggressive, allowing just two hits while striking out four over his five innings pitched. The Redbirds relievers kept it going, combining to allow only one more hit over the final four innings of the game.
With just three hits and eight strikeouts, Iowa was shutout for the fourth time this season, dropping to 1-3 in the series against Memphis.
