DES MOINES, IA – The Iowa Cubs (59-42) dropped the opener to the Toledo Mud Hens (43-59) by a score of 8-2, Tuesday at Principal Park.

Toledo got out to an early lead in the first inning on an RBI single from Tyler Nevin, bringing around Parker Meadows who singled to start the game. One run was all the Mud Hens would score against Caleb Kilian, who recorded a quality start.

He allowed just the one earned run on five hits and one walk, striking out six over 6.0 innings pitched. Kilian was in line for the win when Iowa’s offense provided some run support in the sixth.

They scored two runs on one swing of the bat, as Miles Mastrobuoni clubbed a two-run home run to give Iowa a 2-1 lead. The lead didn’t last long, as Grant Witherspoon and Johan Camargo hit back-to-back solo home runs, giving the Mud Hens a one-run lead right back.

An RBI single from Camargo in the eighth grew Toledo’s lead to 4-2 and they weren’t done there. The Mud Hens scored four runs in the ninth, highlighted by a bases clearing triple from Wenceel Perez.

Up 8-2, Miguel Diaz entered the game in the ninth inning, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth.

POSTGAME NOTES:

  • Iowa went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position, leaving five runners on base. The offense recorded just four hits. Over their last two games, they have just two runs on eight total hits, striking out 27 times.
  • Caleb Kilian spun a quality start tonight, allowing just one run on five hits and one walk over his six innings pitched. He struck out six batters in the outing, as Iowa lost for just the third time this season when he starts.
  • Pete Crow-Armstrong went 0-3 with three strikeouts in his Triple-A debut tonight, taking a walk and stealing one base. He accounted for three of Iowa’s 17 total strikeouts as a team.

Iowa and Toledo will continue their six-game series with game two tomorrow afternoon. First pitch from Principal Park is set for 12:08 pm CT.
