CHICAGO -- The Cubs were hoping for innings from spot starter Luke Farrell. Instead, manager Joe Maddon had to resort to using catcher Victor Caratini and first baseman Anthony Rizzo as pitchers to save his bullpen and finish Monday night's game.
Farrell lasted 3 1/3 innings, giving up five runs in the first inning and a solo homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the second, in the D-backs' 7-1 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
"It was a tough start," Maddon said of Farrell.
