Chicago Cubs Minor League recaps: Iowa Cubs beat Nashville, 4-1

The Daytona Cubs are coming off a huge 13-2 blowout over the Manatees as starting pitcher Rob Zastryzny took the mound. He was pulled from the game after only four innings as he gave up six hits and tagged with four earned runs. His teammates helped give him a 3-0 lead during the bottom of the second inning. Left fielder Rock Shoulders got the Cubs on the board with an RBI double to to right field, driving in Jeimer Candelario and Wilson Contreras.

Brevard County answered back the following inning with two runs of their own, as Cameron Garfield doubled to left field to make it a 3-1 ball game. Victor Roache followed that up with a double of his own to left field again, driving in Garfield to make it a 3-2 game. The Cubs would make it a 4-2 game during the bottom half of the inning on a force out by Candelario, Albert Almora would be the one to cross the plate.

From there on out it would be nothing but the Manatees putting runs up on the board. They added two during the top of the fourth off another RBI double but this time by Tyrone Taylor, driving in teammates Jose Sermo and Brandon Macias.

Daytona was unable to answer back for the remainder of the game, allowing Tanner Poppe to pick up his second save of the season.

Winning pitcher is Jorge Lopez (1-0, 5.40 ERA), Losing pitcher is Yao-Lin Wang (0-1, 0.00 ERA) and the save went to Tanner Poppe (2).
