SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Cubs came back from an early deficit to take five-run leads in the fifth and eighth innings before the Rockies scored the final six – including five in the ninth – for a walkoff, 11-10 victory at Salt River Fields on Tuesday in Scottsdale. The Cubs fell to 5-7 in Cactus League play.
Q factor: Delayed for a week because of a bout with the flu, left-handed starter Jose Quintana gave up some hard contact in his first spring start – albeit, one run scoring after a “double” off the glove of Kyle Schwarber in left – but otherwise deemed the two-inning start a success.
