The Cubs had a rough day in Peoria on Thursday behind Jon Lester in his first start of the spring. Lester was charged with six runs, three earned, in two innings. Jorge Soler and Javier Baez went deep for the first time this spring. But Kyle Schwarber left the game in the third inning with a sore left knee and could miss a week.
For those that focus on a team’s win-loss record in Spring Training, the Cubs are 1-8 in the Cactus League.
