Things haven’t been going so well for the Cubs’ single-A affiliate Peoria Chiefs. First they receive national attention by getting involved in a nasty brawl with the Dayton Dragons which got 15 players ejected and multiple fines and suspensions handed down.
Since then they have been 1-7 with their one win coming at the expense of South Bend August 2.
To top it all off, last night they were no-hit by the Burlington Bees. Starter Danny Duffy threw six no-hit innings for the win and reliever Juan Abreu finished the final three innings for the save.
With the unfortunate loss, the Chiefs find themselves at .500 and in 6th place for the second half of the season.
