The SF Giants, sunk by Sam Sosa's 2 homers, recorded 1 win and 3 losses at an exhibition game. The Giants sent in 5 pitchers to rescue the situation but failed to reap any harvest and lost by 7-11 in a hot stadium in Mesa, AZ. The Cubs scored 11 runs by 14 massive hits, devastating the Giants' pitching staff. Especially lethal was Sammy Sosa, the scary slugger of Cubs, who lived up to his well-known reputation by packing 2 hard punches to the Giants' chin. The Giants showed bright promise for this season, however, by scoring 3 homers.
Giants: 001 310 200 - 7
