After a thumping in Game 1 of the six-game series, the Iowa Cubs square-off against the Indianapolis Indians on Wednesday.
The Iowa Cubs (20-26) dropped their series opener by a 18-6 score to the Indianapolis Indians (21-22) on Tuesday at Principal Park. They’ll look to rebound on Wednesday with much better pitching and some timely hitting.
The Indians were up 7-0 by the third inning, but Iowa fought back and scored two runs in the bottom half of the inning when Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a solo home run and Matt Mervis drove in a run with a sac-fly. However, Indianapolis added four runs in the fourth inning to take a 11-2 lead, highlighted by a three-run homer from Matt Gorski. Crow-Armstrong hit his first home run since April 25 vs. Houston with the Cubs.

Part of the reason why the Cubs allowed so many runs was due to the fact that they committed five errors, their most since April 17, 2014 vs. New Orleans (6).
Iowa returned to Principal Park after losing five of their six games in Syracuse, and after Tuesday’s debacle is now 12-13 at home.
Each Indians batter collected at least one hit in the victory, with six registering multi-hit games. Indianapolis notched season-highs in runs and walks (12) and tied its single-game high in home runs with four, a feat previously set on May 18 vs. Toledo.
