Eloy Does His Part, But Cub Bullpen Can't Hold the Lead in Scottsdale

Eloy Jimenez drilled a two-run single, walked twice, reached base on an HBP, and scored a run, Jemile Weeks singled twice, walked twice, and scored two runs, Yovanny Cuevas singled three times, stole a base, and scored two runs, Carlos Diaz belted an RBI double and an RBI single and scored a run, Jhonny Bethencourt singled twice, walked, stole a base, knocked-in two runs, and scored another, and Jose Gonzalez ripped an RBI double and a single and scored a run, helping the Cubs take an early 6-0 lead, but the Giants "black" squad rallied to get within a run at 6-5 in the 7th, and then after the Cubs took an 8-5 lead in the top of the 9th on the Eloy two-run single, the Giants scored three times in the bottom of the 9th, as the two teams played to an 8-8 tie in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Friday morning on Field #2 (AKA "Jim Davenport Field") at Indian School Park in Scottsdale, AZ.
