5/12: Around the Cubs Minor League System
Here is the recap of the Cubs minor league system from 5/12/12, enjoy.
Patrick Francescon has been lights out for a while now, he continued that trend tonight as he improved to 4-1 after tossing 7 and 1/3rds of an inning while only allowing one unearned run. Francescon had to be every bit of good too, because the Chiefs couldn’t get much going offensively. They only managed to record two runs on six hits, but it was good enough for the win. Marco Hernandez had two hits on the night, and Wes Darvill had the only RBI for the Chiefs.

Erik Jokisch was outstanding for the D-Cubs going 6 strong innings en route to his third victory of the season while improving his ERA to 2.90. Jokisch didn’t have too many difficult spots at all as he only allowed four hits, and no walks while striking out five. The D-Cubs put up just enough offense for Jokisch as they plated four runs on ten hits. Rubi Silva was 2-for-4 with an RBI, his average now sits at .306 on the season. Arismendy Alcantara, Richard Jones, Elieser Bonne each had two hits in the victory.

The I-Cubs must have been tired of playing in 1-0 games so they decided to break out the bats in a big way against Fresno. Iowa pounded out 15 hits and 13 runs en route to a 13-2 shellacking of the Fresno Grizzles. Anthony Rizzo was the star of the show as he almost always is as he went 2-for-6 with two home runs and six RBI’s. Josh Vitters also had himself a day going 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and 4 RBI’s. Chris Rusin took that run support and ran with it as he turned in six solid innings of one run ball to earn his third win of the season. It’s a fun box score for sure, go check it out.
