Iowa Cubs News Release
DES MOINES, IA - The Iowa Cubs (61-75) were out-hit 10-3, dropping their fifth straight game by a score of 5-1 to the Memphis Redbirds (67-69), Tuesday at Principal Park.
Memphis scored a run in each of the first two innings on a home run from Scott Hurst and an RBI single by Kramer Robertson. They extended their lead to 3-0 in the fourth on another RBI single by Pedro Pages, closing Anderson Espinoza's line.
Espinoza allowed three runs on six hits while walking two and striking out four over his four innings of work. Iowa got a run back in the home half of the inning on a solo home run from John Hicks, but that is all the offense they could manage.
The Redbirds added two runs in the sixth inning on a bases loaded double play and a wild pitch, growing their lead to 5-1. Both bullpens kept the opposing offense off the board from there, giving Iowa their fifth straight loss.
