The Cubs were unable to hold onto an early 4-0 lead and dropped their second game of the season to the Dbacks.
After Jason Heyward was scratched for personal reasons Albert Almora Jr would lead off with a double and eventually score on an Anthony Rizzo RBI single. A fielders choice-error would lead to another two runs and a sacrifice fly by Addison Russell would conclude the Cubs scoring.
The big story of the day was the season debut of Yu Darvish, and although he didn't pitch well with four walks in an inning and a third, he concluded the game healthy which is all that really matters at this point. Most reports had his velocity in the mid-90s which is a very good sign for Darvish.
Aside from a dreaful second inning the Cubs overall pitched well. Minus the first two pitchers today, Darvish and Scott Effross, and none of the Cubs pitchers allowed a run.
Cole Hamels will make his season debut tomorrow against his former team, the Texas Rangers, who will be starting veteran righty Edinson Volquez.
