Spring Fever: Cubs @ Brewers

Cubs 11, Brewers 7

The Milwaukee Brewers' rookie third baseman, Ryan Braun, hit his fifth home run of the spring, tying for the Cactus League lead, but was sent back to minor league camp Monday after his team's 11-7 loss to a Chicago Cubs split squad.

As a 2005 first-round draft pick, he has a good bat, but some real shaky defense, committing his fourth throwing error in the seventh inning. Braun's five longballs came in four games - and he made a throwing error in each one. He will most likely begin the season as the everyday third baseman for AAA Nashville.

Cubs prospect Felix Pie had three hits to raise his spring training average to .370, Daryle Ward drove in four runs with a pair of two-run doubles and Jacque Jones hit a three-run homer to lead Chicago.

The Cubs scored five times in the first inning off Milwaukee prospect Yovani Gallardo. Pie's one-out triple in the fifth started a two-run rally.

Bill Hall hit a two-run homer for the Brewers.

i'm confused. my brother sent me scores from whatever cubs game he and my mom were at yesterday, and he sent me crap like "Cubs 14 Seattle 4."
Was he yanking my chain?
