The Cubs sent several players onto the field for the second straight game Sunday afternoon, ramping up as the team gets ready to head to Japan.
The starters put together a pretty good offense before departing, scoring in each of the first five innings. Unfortunately, non-roster invitee Brandon Hughes got hit pretty hard in the ninth and the Giants scored five and won the game over the Cubs 8-6.
