Cubs 8, Rangers 6: The power barrage continues
Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY SportsMESA, Arizona — The Cubs hosted many of the regulars from the defending World Series champion Rangers and put the hurt on them, hitting two home runs and smashing several other extra-base hits in an 8-6 victory. Since March 9, including split-squad games, the Cubs are 8-1. (Not that spring wins and losses mean anything, but wins are always nice.)
In the bottom of the first, Seiya Suzuki, who’s been on a tear lately, doubled with one out. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Cody Bellinger. Here are the double and the sac fly:
