Condensed game highlights: Cubs salvage final game of spring training against Atlanta Braves

Early on in spring training, 1-1. Grounded towards short, there's Dansby, throw to first in time. When to throw, the accuracy, et cetera. Pass ripped down the left field line, and that's a base hit. Roll into the left field corner, Austin Riley to second, and that's a one-out double here in the first. Loosen the confidence of a hitter that he's going to throw a pitch in a certain spot. 1-2, swing and a miss, strike three, high-heater. 1-2, swing and a miss, strike three. Ben Brown. And so I think just to see him healthy again, these at-bats, good. That's a rock at the center. It's back, and it one-hops over the wall. Tucker scores. It's an RBI double for Dansby, and it's 1-0 Cubs. A lot of what he does at the plate is just about feeling good and trying to be consistent. So, Peep gets picked off with Zach Thompson, the new pitcher. Preparing him for that, and he has prepared himself for that. Zuna hits that out the left. It's past Ian Happ, and he'll bang off the wall. Ozuna to second, second time he's been on. It's a two-out double here in the third. If I could drift off that line, something with arm side fade. Let me see if I can get him to swing and miss. 1-2, swing and a miss, strike three. Got him on a breaking ball. Tucker hits it to second. Throw it to second for one, over to first, and it's a double play. It's a lead-off walk negated for 6-3, twin killing, and now two outs here in the third. He just kind of comes in late. That is hit well. Left field, birdie back to the track. It's to the berm, and it's gone. Brian Delacruz, two-run homer with one swing of the bat. Braves on top. It's a two-one game. I think this is just a really bad miss here, yeah. Looks like a curveball out. Brian Delacruz around a league average barrel rate. I mean, he's swinging above his eyes there. That pitch is way out of the zone. I can't imagine with as many balls he's going to give up homers on. That's hit well to right center field. Pete into the gap. He slides, and he makes the catch. I know you should never doubt Pete Crow Armstrong, but I didn't know if he could get to this ball Excuse me, Pete. Prove me wrong. I mean, this is like almost a routine catch for him. All the ground he covers. I think he is willing to do whatever to help the team, but this is where he feels most comfortable. Caps it off with a strikeout. Nice job, Ben Brown. Cubs down two to one. We'll go to the bottom of the fourth. Now to start the season, but Vidal, Ruhan, engage Workman. It's into right center field, and that's a base hit. Birdie routes third and scores, and we're tied at two here in the fifth. Hopefully, I'll be able to bring a thing or two over the course of those shows. Swing and a miss, strike three. Cubs tie it up with an RBI single. It's two to two as we go to the sixth. You thought there would be, you know, a guy that would pop, and Kelly's done that really nicely. All right, Sam Armstrong, scoreless frame. Two-two will go to the bottom of the sixth. One-two. Swing and a miss, strike three. Oh-two. Swing and a miss, strike three. Sam Armstrong, scoreless seventh. It's stretch time at Sloan, and it's two to two. Well, and how Lance was just highlighting Brad Keller. Brad Keller earned his way on this team because of how he performed in spring. I do think that... Is that ball hanging up? Speaking of right-handed power, it's gone. McGeary, buh-bye. Go ahead, home run. Here are the eight. It's four to two, Cubs. McGeary, a bit of a down year last year. Fell off a bit from a strikeout standpoint and power, but he's a fascinating guy coming from a D3 school. That's just a breaker that got away from Shane in there. It's a good swing. Armstrong fires. Swing and a miss, strike three. Fly the W. Cubs win.
