"Edward Cabrera got the start for Chicago and did well, giving up only one run on an RBI groundout in 3.2 innings of work. Ian Happ gave his team the lead with a two-run double in the bottom of the 3rd that made the score 2-1."
"They blew the game open with four more in the 7th, including a solo home run by Chas McCormick and a two-run double from Devin Ortiz that increased the advantage to 7-1. Seattle cut into the deficit with a three-run home run in the top of the 8th inning, but it was not enough and Chicago was victorious 7-4."
"Cabrera has looked as good as advertised so far this spring, and the Cubs have to be very excited. If he can stay healthy, he will have a major impact on the rotation this season."
