Iowa Cubs 3 @ Memphis Redbirds 4 Iowa fell behind 4-0 by the end of the 3rd inning, but tried to rally in the 7th and 8th. They fell to 31-36 on the season. Dexter Fowler may or may not be headed to the DL depending on what the Cubs learn in the days to come. I would assume that would …

Seeing as I held the post of “minor league wonk” fairly recently, I thought I’d give a short synopsis of each team so far. Iowa Arismendy Alcantara has not been so great this year.
