LHSP Grant Watson hurled five innings of one-hit shutout ball with ten strikeouts and John Riley walked twice and fisted a two-un double into the RF-CF-2B "Bermuda Triangle" (as three Cub fielders collided attempting to catch the ball), leading the Giants "black" squad to a 13-6 drubbing of the Cubs in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Wednesaday morning on Field #2 at Indian School Park in Scottsdale, AZ.

Michael Cruz belted a moon-shot two-run HR over the RF fence and onto busy Hayden Road and Luis Diaz ripped a two-run triple to provide the Cub offensive highlights,

John Andreoli (on AAA Iowa 7-day DL - hamstring strain) saw game action for the first time since , playing CF for seven innings and going 0-5 at the plate (he struck out looking the first four times up, then reached on an error and scored a run).
