The Cubs will try to end their five-game losing streak today against the Padres. They’ve also lost eight of their last nine, with the lone win coming in a split-squad game.
Scott Feldman starts, and is in the lineup once again. He’s coming over from the American League, so it’s good to get him a handful of extra at bats in Spring Training.
Junior Lake was set to get another start at third base today, but he was scratched with a sore shoulder.
Today’s game is available (audio) on Cubs.com/MLB.com.
The lineup:
1. David DeJesus, CF
2. Darwin Barney, 2B
3. Nate Schierholtz, RF
4. Alfonso Soriano, LF
5. Dioner Navarro, C
6. Brian Bogusevic, 1B
7. Christian Villanueva, 3B
8. Alberto Gonzalez, SS
9. Scott Feldman, P
