The Cubs played their first road game of the spring in Scottsdale against the Giants Saturday afternoon. For the second consecutive game, Chicago took a big lead and won easily with an eight-run tally.
The hero Saturday was Brennen Davis, the once highly touted outfield prospect who has struggled mightily with injuries last two seasons. Davis plated a pair with a single to left in the top of the 2nd inning and the Cubs never looked back.
Drew Smyly pitched around a couple of walks to put up two clean frames in his start.
