The Cubs beat the Diamondbacks today at Salt River Fields, where it sounded – in the videos, anyway – more like it was at Sloan Park. As usual, Cubs fans travel:
A-14,035. Salt River Fields record.

I reckon virtually all Cactus League record attendance figures come in games against the Cubs.
Cubs win!
Final: #Cubs 7, D-backs 1. https://t.co/cCYqxQQhi2 pic.twitter.com/RtbcyeWoos

So Chatwood comes in with 2 on and gets 2 straight out then singles at the plate then goes 1-2-3 the next inning.

Good news – Allen Webster’s velo was up from his last outing. 95.9-96.8 according to Statcast (screenshots below). Wrote this week how Webster needs his FB to be playable to set up the all-world slider. Today? A double on a FB, 3 outs on the SL (assuming the 2sm was misdiagnosed) pic.twitter.com/2mpR96X9RJ
