Another early start, this time to accommodate both teams, who are breaking camp after this game to get ready for Thursday’s Opening Day affairs.
Here are today’s particulars.
Cubs lineup:
Ortega CF, Frazier LF, Wisdom 3B, Rivas 1B, Hermosillo RF, Vargas 2B, Hicks C, Vazquez SS, Roederer DH
Rangers lineup:
Miller LF, Semien 2B, Seager SS, Garver C, Lowe 1B, Garcia DH, Calhoun RF, Ibanez 3B, White CF
Michael Rucker will start for the Cubs. This is probably a final audition for an Opening Day roster spot. Alec Mills, originally listed as today’s starter, will throw at the Sloan Park complex instead (and not have to take the 40+ mile bus ride to Surprise).
