Donald Veal’s had a tough time this year and he’s dropped to 0-3 with another rough start.  He gave up four runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts in just 4 1/3 innings and he’s given up at least three runs in each of his first three starts while not even making it into the fifth inning in any of them.  This isn’t good news for a guy who was listed as high as number two on Cubs prospect lists.

Josh Kroeger provided most of the offense in the 7-5 loss.  He homered and drove in two runs.
