Brandon Birdsell with probably the best outing by a SP prospect all year?

6 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 HBP, 8 K

Wonder how close he is to Iowa.

First HR of the year.  Howard had an improved June, stats-wise.  .739 OPS.  For June, 23 hits, 19 of them singles.  HR is fun.

Juan Bello pitched into the 6th for the first time this season (ever?): 5.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 1 HR

He went out for another inning!  Gave up a solo dong, got another K, and passed the 100 pitch mark which the Cubs very rarely let prospects do

He ended up going out there for the 7th and gave up a homer to lose his no-hitter and shutout.

Still, great outing: 7 IP, 1 H; 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K, 1 HR
