Gleyber Torres drilled four singles, stole a base, and scored three runs as the Cubs edged the Diamondbacks 5-4 on Whirlwind Field, and Fernery Ozuna (RBI single), Jordan Parr (two-run single), Jacob Mayers (two-run double), and Jose Herrera (RBI double) rapped run-scoring hits to highlight an eight-run 3rd and Eric Brooks and five relievers combined to toss a three-hitter, helping the D'backs throttle the Cubs 11-3 on Quail Field, in a Cactus League Extended Spring Training split-squad doubleheader played this morning at Salt Rivers Fields at Talking Stick Resort east of Scottsdale, AZ.  

 

This was the 8th multi-hit game for Torres and his second four-hit game, and he is now hitting 311/388/398 with four doubles and two triples, 14/18 BB/K, an HBP, four SB (two CS and two PO) in 30 Cactus League EXST games (118 PA). He has committed 13 errors (11 fielding and two throwing) in his 30 games, however his errors tend to come in bunches and seem to result from carelessness, and then he'll play immaculate defense for several games in a row. He has also made a number of highlight-reel plays at SS, and his throws are always plus-strong & almost always accurate.

 

...

 

RHP Scott Frazier (who has been unable to throw strikes going back to Minor League Camp) made his Cactus League EXST game debut as well, and threw a shutout inning with one strikeout, although he did walk two batters and threw two WP. There are some in the Cub organization who believe Frazier has the best (and nastiest) stuff in the system, but he just has all kinds of trouble finding the strike zone with it. He got by today, but just barely. Frazier would be the closer at Boise (heck, he'd probably be the closer at Daytona) if he could just throw strikes.  

 

Eloy Jimenez got back into game action for the first time in a week and still hasn't been demoted to the DSL.

Bryant homer

[jersey cubs fan]

College hitters please, even if they project to just be good.

[Guest]

@andruwgreen: Following that 2-run shot to RF, 10 of Kris Bryant's 19 homers have been hit to either CF or RF. Pretty impressive.

Kris Bryant home run!!

 

Thought that would be a good first post!

Welcome to the board. Hope you get to celebrate 800 more Bryant homers.

[TruffleShuffle]

not surprisingly, bryant is drawing a [expletive] load of walks lately, probably because pitchers feel that walking him is better than the alternative of watching the ball sail over the fence.

[Guest]

Monster!

[rawaction]

Makes sense that a tall guy would hit them out to CF and RF as a young guy. ML pitchers will bust him inside a lot early until he can prove he can turn on the ball.

[Epsteenie]

It's one thing to have 19 home runs, it's a whole other thing to be hitting .353 while doing so. What a stud.

Thanks, and hopefully not too many of those will be Double A homers!!

[UMFan83]

Oh Bryant finally decided to hit a HR

[Pinktermite]

This is just silly. is there any minor league cub in recent memory that's destroyed a league to this extent? Why is KB not on a plane or a train to Des Moines?
