D'Backs Cruise Past Cubs at Salt River Fields

The Diamondbacks took advantage of four errors, six walks, and two wild pitches and defeated the Cubs 9-4 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Thursday morning on Whirlwind Field at Salt Piver Fields at Talking Stick Resort east of Scottsdale, AZ.

Kevin Cornelius belted a three-run HR to account for three of the four Cub runs.

RHSP Jose Albertos (2015 IFA - Mexico) made his 2017 game debut, getting the start for the Cubs and working 2.1 IP (46 pitches). He allowed two runs (both unearned) on two hits (both singles) and three walks (but no strikeouts), and threw a ton of ground balls (6/0 GO/AO including a 4-6-3 DP, plus two more ground balls that turned into errors).
