Jon Lester took the mound Saturday night in his last tune-up start of the spring, but the performance didn’t offer much to be excited about. Albert Almora Jr. got the game going with a double down the left field line and Javier Baez brought him around for the first of his three RBI of the evening.
Then the Rockies took over. Former Cub Daniel Murphy doubled in the bottom of the 1st, then scored on a Nolan Arenado double. Arenado scored on an Ian Desmond double, and Desmond was in turn sent home by a David Dahl single, putting the Rockies ahead 3-1.
