Iowa Cubs President and General Manager Sam Bernabe says he has warmed up to a six games series. The new format debuted a year ago during the pandemic to reduce travel and returned this season. Series run Tuesday through Sunday and Monday’s are always an off day.

Bernabe says the format has helped reduce travel headaches for the team.

Bernabe believes regular off days are good for the players.

The I-Cubs opened an International League series in St. Paul last night (Tuesday night), with a 7-to 3 win.
