Spring Training Game Wrap 3/10/2020: Cubs 16 Giants 3

Johnny Cueto got knocked around Scottsdale Stadium and the Cubs piled on from there.  Key Lines:

Mike Yastrzemski CF- 1 for 3, 3B.  BA= .269.  YtY gets his first XBH of the spring.  Seems to be getting quite a few looks in CF.

Jaylin Davis LF- 1 for 2, 2B, BB.  BA= .222.  Davis is 3 for 8 over his last 3 games.  5 of 6 hits on the spring XBH's.

Pablo Sandoval PH- 2 for 3, 2 2B.  BA= .278.  Pabs must have played a position after PH, or else he PH 3 times in 1 game....or something.

Johnny Cueto RHP- 1.2 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 12.79.  Yikes!  Let's hope he was just working on some things...or had terrible BABIP luck.

LHP- 2.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.79.  Suarez had looked strong before this not so good outing.

Dany Jimenez RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.57.  This qualifies as the strongest appearance for Giants pitchers on the day.  With multiple RP's struggling and Tony Watson now questionable for Opening Day, Jimenez remains on track to a roster spot.

Giants sent Joey Bart and Cristhian Adames to minor league camp.  Enderson Franco and Joe McCarthy were optioned to AAA.  There is a good chance we see Joey Bart in the majors before the 2020 season is done.  Adames and Franco are depth for the big league club.  Joe McCarthy tries to keep the good vibes from spring training going in Sacramento.
