At the plate: Aramis Ramirez had two hits, including a home run. Alfonso Soriano also had two hits and Mike Fontenot one more for a .381 spring average.

On the mound: Jeff Samardzija's spring ERA rose to 9.90 as he allowed five runs in two innings. Carlos Marmol had one strikeout and one walk in a scoreless inning.

In the field: With two outs in the first, right fielder Micah Hoffpauir drifted under Prince Fielder's high fly but couldn't catch it. Then Fontenot threw a wild relay to third, allowing Fielder to score.
