Armando Álvarez collected a hit and knocked in a run in two trips to the plate in Oakland’s 3-1 loss to the Cubs. The infielder watched his average rise to a robust .476 and is on the verge of earning a job with the big come the beginning of the regular season.
Aroldis Chapman tossed a scoreless to notch his second hold of the spring, but Pittsburgh still dropped a 5-2 decision to the Orioles. The flamethrowing left-hander’s ERA descended to 3.60 and in five innings pitched this spring he has struck out seven batters.
