Chicago Cubs Minor League Wrap: May 9
Share this story
First off, I’d like to wish a happy Mother’s Day out there to every mother reading this.
Second, a reminder that there will be no Minor League Wrap on Monday as Mondays are a travel day all season for every Cubs minor league team.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs no-hit Indianapolis, 2-0. Iowa finishes the series winning three-of-five.
Shelby Miller started this game on a rehab assignment and pitched three innings. He gave up one walk and struck out five.
Tommy Nance relieved Miller in the fourth and pitched the next three innings and got the win. He also walked one and struck out five. In addition, because the I-Cubs only had two hitters on their bench today, Nance had to bat for himself in the fifth inning with runners on the corners and one out. In his first professional plate appearance, Nance hit a sac fly to center field for the first run of the game. It was almost a hit.
