The Cubs lost their fourth straight spring game Tuesday, 6-3 to the Brewers at American Family Fields of Phoenix.
Of course, wins and losses in Spring Training games are irrelevant and so, more importantly, let’s look at some of the things that could be meaningful to the Chicago Cubs during the 2023 season.
With the Cubs trailing 3-0 in the top of the seventh, Matt Mervis doubled. After Christopher Morel was called out on strikes, Nelson Velázquez smashed this opposite-field homer [VIDEO].
With Seiya Suzuki out for potentially a significant amount of time with an oblique injury, I’d think this gives Velázquez a real chance to impress the brass and perhaps even be the Opening Day right fielder for the Cubs.
