Cubs, Cardinals, White Sox Pick Up Wins in Spring Training

Cubs Take Down Brewers

(Phoenix, AZ) -- Javier Baez homered as the Cubs earned a 4-2 win over the Brewers at Maryvale Baseball Park Monday. Eric Jokisch threw three scoreless innings in the win. Meanwhile, Jason Hammel scattered four hits in two scoreless innings in a B Game. The Cubs host the A's today in Mesa.

Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro will be out for the next seven to ten days recovering from a mild hamstring strain. Manager Rick Renteria says second baseman Darwin Barney could see time at short in Castro's absence. Castro was injured Sunday attempting a slide into second base.
