MESA, Arizona — The blurb under the headline is really the entire recap of Thursday’s 2-2 Cubs tie with the Rockies.
No, seriously. Ian Happ’s third home run in four games with Mike Freeman on base in the third inning was all of the Cubs scoring.
Mariners minor leaguer Sam Hilliard hit a two-run blast off Cubs non-roster invitee Daniel Camarena in the eighth.
That was it for the scoring, and really, about all for the offense for both teams. The Mariners had six other hits besides their home run; the Cubs had just three other hits.
