All the scoring came in the first 3 1/2 innings of this late spring training game, with the Cubs scattering six runs across four innings to beat the Rangers’ five-run first. The starters were respectable major leaguers to booth (CJ Wilson and Andrew Cashner). Scoring didn’t just stop after the top of the fourth, almost all offense did. From that point forward Chicago mustered just a walk and a single, while eighteen straight Texas hitters were retired before a two-out ninth inning single by Chris Davis (which allowed him to avoid the golden sombrero that he would later seem to wear permanently in Baltimore). Davis moved up to third on a Jeff Samardzija wild pitch, but Taylor Teagarden struck out swinging on the next pitch to bring the game to a close.
