Cubs Get a Wake Up Call and Deliver a Two-Out Rally at Sloan Park

Alexis Hernandez (RBI single), Wally Soto (RBI triple), and Raino Coran (two-run HR) stroked consecutive two-out run scoring hits in the bottom of the 6th inning, and Carlos Garcia hurled three innings of no run / no hit ball to pick up the win in relief, as the Cubs rallied from a 3-0 deficit and edged the Brewers 4-3 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Saturday morning at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ. 

Satchell Norman laced an RBI single with two outs in the top of the 3rd inning and Johan Barrios followed the Norman hit with a two-run single to provide the Brew Crew with an early 3-0 lead.  

The game was pre-planned as an eight-inning contest.

AZPhil, Silverio seems to get alot of work (16 IP?) this ExST and may be the youngest arm out there. How’s he looking? BA had him up to 93 (so 88-91 usually) with a curve last year, any velo bump yet?

    I hope that Perlaza goes on to have a successful career.  On most Cubs teams prior to the current administration, he would have been one of their more highly ranked prospects.  As far as the others are concerned, one or more may well go on to be much better than expected, but unfortunately there is no way to tell which one at the present time.  You can't keep everyone.

    Another one of the nine Cubs post-2023 Rule 9 minor league 6YFA has signed, as RHP Carlos Guzman (acquired from the Tigers for Zack McKinstry at the end of Spring Training) signed a 2024 minor league contract with the Mets. 

     

    So RHRP Yovanny Cruz (SD), C-INF P. J. Higgins (CIN), and now Carlos Guzman (NYM) have already signed 2024 minor league contracts with new MLB organizations, and OF Yonathan Perlaza is headed for Korea (Hanhwa Eagles).
