Chicago Cubs baseball is back on the air. Well, exhibition baseball, but still pretty good. The Cubs welcomed Oakland to Sloan Park for the debut of Marquee Sports Network, which had a few issues with its carriage Saturday.
Alec Mills, one of a few pitchers battling for the fifth starter job, got the nod and pitched a clean inning in the 1st. Willson Contreras got the offense rolling in the 2nd with a long home run to left center off of Lou Trivino. Leadoff hitter Kris Bryant padded the lead later in the inning with a two-run single to left.
