Geuri Lubo (RBI triple), Dilan Granadillo (RBI single), and Jefferson Rojas (RBI single) contributed run scoring hits to highlight a four-run 9th inning, and closer Gabriel Agrazal struck out Cristian Garcia with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th to preserve the lead (and the victory), as the Cubs rallied from an early 6-0 deficit to score three in the 7th and four in the 9th and then held on to edge the Angels 8-7 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Friday evening at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, AZ.
Angels #1 pitching prospect LHSP Ky Bush (on AA Rocket City 7-day IL - oblique strain) hurled three innings of shutout ball while the Angels were taking their early lead, ACL Angels top prospect CF Randy DeJesus ripped two triples, walked, scored a run, and drove-in another, Capri Ortiz walked, singled, stole a base, and scored two runs, and recently signed ex-Cubs catcher Tyler Payne drilled two singles, drove-in a run, threw out two baserunners attempting to steal, and picked another runner off base, for the Angels.
