The Chicago Cubs needed a late rally, and they got it in part to their young prospects. Trailing 3-1 entering the bottom of the eighth, the Cubs responded as Eloy Jimenez hit a solo shot and was followed two batters later with an Ian Happtwo-run home run. Jon Lester started for the Cubs (5-7), allowing one run over three innings of work.
The Rockies (8-6) continued to get strong spring performances from Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu. After Blackmon led off the game with a double, LeMahieu kept it going with a RBI single to give the Rockies the early lead.
