Peavy warmed up for the marquee assignment with three crisp, scoreless innings in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.
“I feel prepared that I can go up there and throw all my pitches with maybe a little more intensity than there was today and be able to get outs and be productive for Team USA and still be working toward my eventual progress to start opening day,” Peavy said after allowing only a leadoff single to Ryan Theriot while facing the minimum nine batters. Peavy threw 33 pitches.
Cubs starter Ryan Dempster allowed three unearned runs in two innings. He yielded two hits, walked one and struck out one.
Cards’ Barton has big day
JUPITER, Fla. — Brian Barton went 3-for-5 with two homers and six RBIs as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Florida Marlins 14-10 Sunday.
Cardinals right-hander Joel Pineiro allowed an unearned run and two hits in two innings in his spring debut.
Jeremy Hermida homered for the second straight day but also misplayed a ball in left field for the Marlins.
Florida right-hander Anibal Sanchez, who missed spring training last year while he recovered from shoulder surgery, allowed one run and five hits in three innings.
Beckham boosts White Sox
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Gordon Beckham led off the ninth inning with a home run as the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 Sunday.
