"Matthew Boyd made his first start of the spring and allowed a 2nd-inning run on a single by Sam Haggerty after Pete Crow-Armstrong lost a Tyler Wade fly ball in the high Arizona sky that dropped in for a double. Chicago evened the score on an RBI single by infield prospect Jefferson Rojas in the bottom of the frame."
"Texas grabbed the lead against new Cubs acquisition Hoby Milner in the top of the 4th via a two-run double by Haggerty. The home team cut the deficit in half on an RBI groundout by Rojas in the bottom of the inning but stranded the bases loaded in the same frame."
"That would be the end of the scoring Saturday as both squads went relatively quietly down the stretch and the Rangers won by a final of 3-2. (Box score) Key Moment PCA and Carson Kelly each came up with the bases loaded in the 4th inning down 3-2 and could not bring in the tying run. Why the Cubs Lost A defensive miscue and the inability to get a big hit were the deciding factors Saturday."
Several Cubs starters saw their first spring training action as the team hosted the Rangers at Sloan Park. Matthew Boyd made his first start and allowed a 2nd-inning run after Pete Crow-Armstrong lost a fly ball, and Jefferson Rojas provided two RBI hits. Hoby Milner yielded a two-run double that gave Texas the lead, and the Cubs stranded the bases loaded in the 4th. PCA and Carson Kelly each failed to plate the tying run with the bases loaded. Bullpen work included a clean inning from Daniel Palencia, and Matt Shaw recorded a single in right field.
