The Cubs/Sounds game last night was rather ridiculous. There were surprisingly less home runs than one would expect in that sort of game (5) and none of them scored more than 2 runs. There were hits from all 9 spots in the order, including a run-scoring single by reliever Donovan Hand. The pitcher's spot was the only spot not to get more than one hit. (Erick Almonte was not involved in any form in this ballgame. Neither, to anyone's surprise considering the trade, was Jeremy Reed.) Since everybody got more than one hit, the Points of Interest only list 3 players.
More stats after the jump. It looks like Wisconsin may have another good starter to add to Ross and Thornburg.
