Kris Bryant launched a grand slam and Jeimer Candelario added three hits and an RBI in a Chicago Cubs’ 9-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kyle Hendricks made his Cactus League debut, tossing two scoreless innings for Chicago.
Brett Anderson, who is vying for a rotation slot, struggled, allowing a handful of runs in two-plus innings of work. The Cubs’ offense benefited from several Los Angels errors, including one that allowed Candelario to score following a run-scoring triple.
Anthony Rizzo sat out again on Saturday, working through tightness in his back.
