Power Rangers: Four Texas homers send Cubs to 13-1 loss in Cactus League play Thursday

Rangers 13, Cubs 1

Four Texas Rangers home runs, including a grand slam in the first inning and three-run shot in a seven-run eighth, gave this spring loss a similar vibe to the high-scoring opening series loss for the Cubs last year in Texas. The Cubs fell to 3-3 in Cactus League play.

Fits and starts: Right-hander Colin Rea’s long shot to earn the fifth starter job got a little longer with a rough first inning that included a single, pair of walks and Rougned Odor grand slam on a 3-1 pitch.
