The Cubs (6-3) came into Wednesday’s contest sitting atop the Cactus League standings and riding high after a thrilling comeback win against the A’s, culminated by a walk-off grand slam courtesy of Rafael Ortega. Alec Mills took the mound for the second time, taking a small step back from his first appearance. The righty went 2.1 innings, allowing one earned run, three hits, and one walk to go with one strikeout.
Brandon Workman struggled once again, allowing two walks in just one inning of work. His lack of control was masked by a double play in what could have been a big inning for the Giants.
