Couple hits for Canario

And Mervis.

Birdsell racked up a lot of strikeouts tonight but couldn’t get through 4 due to his pitch count.

3.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 1 HBP

Kevin Valdez and Yovanny Cruz each threw an inning of rehab with the ACL Cubs.

Paciolla hit his third HR of the season. Brayan Altuve hit his second.
