PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Andrew Cashner allowed one unearned run in three innings for San Diego in his final start before opening night as the Padres and a Cubs split squad played to a 5-5 tie Tuesday night.
Cashner allowed two hits and struck out one in his 44-pitch tuneup. The right-hander issued no walks, allowing only one in 15 2/3 innings while posting a 2.30 spring ERA.
Cory Spangenberg’s error led to Ryan Kalish’s RBI single in the third off Cashner, who starts Sunday against the Dodgers.
Xavier Nady singled and had an RBI double off Cubs prospect C.J. Edwards, who couldn’t get out of the third in his Cactus League debut. The 22-year-old gave up three runs, four hits and three walks, getting eight outs.
The game was stopped after nine innings.
