One day after the Cubs’ first home game of the 2018 Cactus League season, they’re heading right back out on the road again. Today’s game against the San Francisco Giants will be in central Scottsdale, which is about 10 minutes straight up highway 101 from the Cubs Mesa facility.
Ian Happ is leading things off today while playing center field. He’s followed in the order by Tommy La Stella and Kyle Schwarber, who’ll line up in left field for today’s contest. Chris Gimenez will be catching today and batting cleanup, a spot in the order he’s not likely to see come regular season.
