Joel Santo had a decent start go to waste and he fell to 4-4 on the season in Daytona’s 6-2 loss.  He gave up three runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts in seven innings.

Alberto Garcia was the only Cub with two hits.  Kyle Reynolds went one for three with a walk and a run.

It’s getting pretty ugly for Iowa as their pitchers were shelled for 19 more runs today.  John Webb took the loss and he fell to 1-3 on the season.  He gave up nine runs (four earned) on eight hits and five walks with five strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings.

Alberto Garcia was the hitting star in the 19-4 loss.  He went two for four with two RBIs.

Scott Taylor dropped to 3-6 on the season with a tough start in a beatdown by Dunedin.  Taylor gave up six runs and he didn’t even last through the second inning and when the dust settled, the Blue Jays had put twenty runs on the board in a 20-5 loss.

Alberto Garcia had a nice day at the plate.  He had just one hit but it was a two run homer and he also scored two runs.

Daytona lost 6-3 to Jupiter and and it was the pen that lost this one.  Jesse Estrada left the game after six shutout innings and Michael Phelps took the loss after he gave up three unearned runs in the ninth inning.

Tyler Colvin drove in two of the Cubs runs with a two run homer.  Alberto Garcia went three for four.

The Cubs had a really good pitching performance in the first gam of a doubleheader with Vero Beach but then a very poor one in the second game.  Joel Santo gave up just one one run on eight hits in five innings and he picked up the win in the first game.  Chris Amador had a nice game at the plate.  He went one for three with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs in the 5-1 win.

Game two didn’t go nearly as well.  Mitch Atkins gave up six runs (just one earned) in 4 1/3 innings and both Cubs relievers gave up runs.  The lone run in the 8-1 loss was an RBI by Alberto Garcia.
