MESA, Arizona — Once again, do not let the sunshine in the photo of Anthony Rizzo above fool you. It was just 55 degrees at game time, which might be the coldest temperature I can remember for any spring training game I’ve attended.
The sunshine made it feel nice on the berm at Sloan Park, though, and the Cubs’ performance in a 6-1 win over the Rangers made everyone feel good.
Javier Baez started the show with a couple of sparkling defensive plays in the early innings.
