Yes, the results of spring games are meaningless, but I’m sure the Cubs didn’t want to lose all five games at Sloan Park following their return from Japan.
And they didn’t, taking the spring finale 4-2 from the Braves as Haydn McGeary hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth.
The Cubs scored first, in the first. With one out, Kyle Tucker singled and Seiya Suzuki walked. One out later, Dansby Swanson’s double scored Tucker [VIDEO].
