Tony Campana News

With a victory today, the Iowa Cubs would win a road series for the first time since last August, in Tucson.

The Reno Aces were on the losing end of a pitchers' duel for the second-straight night on Saturday, in a 4-1 loss to the Iowa Cubs at Aces Ballpark.

It's natural for the thoughts to turn in "what's next" question, especially in the excitement over what Tony Cingrani's done so far as a Red.

David Price is upset with an umpire, and it's not because of his strike zone. Jeffrey Loria gets more bad press and Robinson Cano is going to get paid.

You may remember Tony Campana as the speedy outfielder used infrequently by the Cubs between 2011 and '12. Over those two seasons, Campana stole 54 bases in 59 attempts and was on base 106 times, 96 of which were via single, walk, or hit by pitch.

Gillespie had two doubles and a home run Saturday night to lift the Fresno Grizzlies to a 9-6 win at Aces Ballpark.

As you know, the Cubs have played every game this season relatively close. After 23 games, no Cubs game has been what baseball-reference.com terms a "blowout" -- a game decided by five or more runs.
