LAS VEGAS (AP) — Steven Matz didn’t allow a run over five hitless innings and Yoenis Cespedes hit his first spring homer to lead the New York Mets past the Chicago Cubs 8-1 Friday and end a 14-game winless streak in their last exhibition game.
The Cubs had just three hits and scored their run on John Andreoli’s bases-loaded walk in the sixth. Chicago plays its final exhibition game Sunday at the Los Angeles Angels.
