SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — The Cubs made their annual visit to their former spring home, HoHoKam Stadium in Mesa, a ballpark only about three miles away from their current one. Many of the current Cubs are new enough to the team that they never had HoHoKam as their home field, as the Cubs last were the home team there in 2013.
The new svelte Kyle Schwarber smashed his third home run of the spring, which was immediately followed by a solo shot by Chris Gimenez, his first in a Cubs uniform.
