Spring stats can be deceiving, though a 10-run inning is still a 10-run inning, whether it’s in the Cactus League or Little League.
Chicago Tribune baseball writers LaMond Pope, Meghan Montemurro and Paul Sullivan will be providing updates from the Cactus League on Monday through Friday throughout spring training.
The Cubs came into Monday’s action ranked third among Cactus League teams with a 4.19 ERA, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers (3.87) and San Diego Padres (4.10).
“Our pitching infrastructure here is really strong and I have a ton of confidence in them,” manager David Ross said Monday morning.
