The Cubs welcomed the Reds to Sloan Park on Tuesday afternoon and got a first look at what their potential bullpen will look like 2024. Chicago struggled with the bats again early before their prospects were able to force a tie with a dramatic late rally.
Kyle Hendricks made his debut start of the spring and had his nasty changeup working early. He gave up only one hit in his two frames, but that hit was a triple that turned into a run and a 1-0 deficit.
The Cubs got scoreless innings from relievers Adbert Alzolay, Julian Merryweather, and José Cuas, all of whom project to have key roles in 2024.
