Alfonso Soriano hit a three-run homer for Chicago, Mike Cameron homered for Milwaukee, and the Cubs and Brewers wrapped up their Arizona spring schedules with a 10-10 tie in 10 innings today.
Both teams sent mostly minor leaguers to the mound, and the Brewers started pulling their position players in the third inning. They didn't bother to stick around for the ending, either.
Dressed in suits and toting suitcases, the regulars emerged from the third base dugout after the top of the eighth and strolled up the right-field line toward the exit.
Their next stop is Milwaukee, where the Brewers will host Kansas City in a two-game exhibition series on Friday and Saturday. The Cubs will go to Las Vegas for two against Seattle.
The favorites in the NL Central, Chicago and Milwaukee will open the season at Wrigley Field on Monday.
But Cameron won't be there.
He'll serve a 25-game suspension because he tested positive for a banned stimulant a second time, so his solo homer during a six-run second inning could be his last for a while. He does plan to play against Kansas City.
