Just like yesterday the Cubs started out the game with a four run lead, but this time they managed to hold on to pick up their fourth win of the season.
David Bote returned from his scary hit by pitch Sunday to go 2-3, Willson Contreras massacred a two-run home run, Christian Adames went 2-2 with a walk, and Mark Zagunis went 2-3 with a two-run home run.
Cole Hamels pitched two innings in his season debut allowing just two hits. Tony Barnette got roughed up in his Cubs debut giving up two runs on a walk and a hit in his inning pitched. Dillon Maples pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts and continues to make a strong impression this Spring.
Oscar De La Cruz pitched an inning and a third as he works his way back from a PED suspension, he gave up three hits, including a two-run home run to Matt Davidson, Although he will miss a small portion of this season due to his suspension he will likely start the year back at Double-A Tennessee with the potential to move up.
Tomorrow will see Kyle Hendricks take the mound for the first time against the Oakland A's, who will be starting former Cub Brett Anderson.
