MESA, Arizona — The Cubs played sketchy baseball in the field Wednesday afternoon at Sloan Park, committing four fielding errors, two by Christopher Morel.
And one by B.J. Murray, but he made up for that by smacking a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning that held up for a 6-5 win over the Angels.
Justin Steele threw two very good innings, then got in trouble in the third, giving up a home run to former Cub Jake Marisnick and then committing a fielding error of his own. That wound up in a three-run inning (two earned), but overall I thought it was a decent outing for Steele.
