Jeff Beliveau: Pitched 1 inning … 4 hits, 2 runs, 0 walks and struck out 1

Positives from the game:
*I know it’s only one game, but Samardzija looked good and was throwing in the mid 90’s.
*The Cubs are playing small ball and that’s good … especially when you don’t have much power hitters.
*Dolis continues to pitch good and that he’ll be a good guy to have in the ‘pen.
*Brett Jackson continues to find a way to get on base.

Negatives from the game:
*Castro committed his first error of Cactus league play.
*McNutt continues to un-impress as he’s throwing too many balls
*Beliveau keeps showing he still needs more time in the minors.

**Note: The Cubs have release minor league pitcher Kyle Smit whom they acquired along with Blake DeWitt and Brett Wallach from the Dodgers for Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot.

Tomorrow the Cubs play the Seattle Mariners at 2 p.m. central.
