The Chicago Cubs farm system had a much better day, highlighted by Jefferson Rojas powering the Tennessee Smokies to a 6-5 win over Rocket City. After a rough previous slate across the affiliates, the organization bounced back with wins from Iowa and Tennessee, while the Pelicans came away with a split in a doubleheader.
At Triple-A, the Iowa Cubs pulled away from the Gwinnett Stripers for a 7-3 victory. The short recap indicates Iowa handled Gwinnett comfortably, with Grant Kipp delivering a solid outing as the I-Cubs controlled the game.
The biggest headline came from the Smokies, who edged Rocket City by one run. Rojas' home run set the tone in a close contest, and Tennessee held on late to secure the 6-5 result.
Down at Single-A, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans did not complete a full sweep but still managed to split their doubleheader. That left the Cubs' minor league clubs with an overall positive finish after all affiliates had come up short the day before.
