Pedro Martinez drilled an RBI single to put the Cubs on the board in the top of the 3rd and then Joey Rose and Keshawn Lynch belted back-to-back doubles with one out in the bottom of the 5th for the Diamondbacks to knot the score, and that's they way it ended as the Cubs and D'backs played to a 1-1 tie in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Thursday morning on Whirlwind Field at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort east of Scottsdale, AZ.
SP Adbert Alzolay (on Iowa 7-day IL - lat strain) hurled three innings (39 pitches) of shutout ball for the Cubs (F-9, P-5, 4-3 * P-4, 1B - CS, K * K, K, 1B, 6-4 FC).
