"Matthew Boyd got the start for Chicago and had three perfect innings with three strikeouts. Dylan Carlson doubled home a run in the top of the 1st, then a sacrifice fly and a hit by pitch with the bases loaded made it 3-0 in the 2nd."
"Top prospect Jaxon Wiggins ran into big problems in the bottom of the frame, giving up four tallies as Los Angeles went on top 5-4. That would be it for the scoring and the Angels ended up victorious by the same 5-4 margin."
"This is a classic spring training situation where the final score does not reflect the actual results. The Cubs got great work from the players who are going to make the 26 man-roster, and that is what is important."
The Cubs traveled to Tempe to face the Angels in a spring training game. Matthew Boyd pitched three perfect innings with three strikeouts for Chicago. The Cubs built a 4-1 lead through the fifth inning with contributions from Dylan Carlson, who doubled home a run and added an RBI single, plus a sacrifice fly and a bases-loaded hit by pitch.
