You know it is going to be a good day for the Cubs offense when even Jon Lester is able to contribute to the offense. He hit a two-run homer to the opposite field to increase their lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning. Kyle Schwarber followed him up with a blast to put them up 5-0.
Lester was able to cruise through this one going five strong giving up a hit and a walk while striking out 10. He turned it over to Adam Warren who gave up two hits and struck out one in two innings of work, Warren was followed by Clayton Richard who gave up two hits and a walk with a strikeout over his two innings of work to close out the ballgame.
The Cubs got off to an early start offensively as David Ross hit a two-run double in the second inning that plated two and a seven run fourth inning allowed the Cubs to cruise to a 10-0 victory.
David Ross was the star offensively going 3-3 with three doubles and four runs driven in. Aside from Matt Szczur every starter got a hit but Szczur did drive in a run and drew a walk. Jorge Soler ended the Cactus League season on a good note going 2-4 with 2 RBIs.
