Assad, Cubs Pitchers Dominate Dodgers in Spring Shutout

Javier Assad threw three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out four on 37 pitches in the Cubs' 6-2 win over the Dodgers. He is preparing to pitch for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. Assad might start the season at Triple-A Iowa to stretch out as a starter. His performance was part of a dominant effort by Cubs pitchers.
