Suriel Goes Deep for Third Time in Four Games
Anderson Suriel clubbed a solo HR (his third home run in four games this week), walked, lofted a sacrifice fly, and doubled and scored, Geuri Lubo doubled, walked, and scored a run, Ronnier Quintero (two-run single) and Ismael Mena (RBI single) stroked consecutive run-scoring hits to highlight a three-run third inning, and SP Jackson Ferris fired three innings of shutout ball, lifting the Cubs to an 8-4 victory over the Diamondbacks Red squad in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Friday afternoon at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.
Prior to the EXST game in the stadium, LHP Drew Gray (February 2022 TJS) threw "live" BP on Field #6:
One "inning"
18 pitches
10 strikes (no swing & miss), including two called strikes, four foul balls, and four balls in play (three pop flies and one grounder).
In EXST Cubs roster news, RHP Chris Clarke has been moved-up to AAA Iowa. (Clarke was supposed to start yesterday's EXST Cubs game at Sloan Park but was scratched at the last minute, obviously because he needed to get to the airport!).
