Jorge Soler, Javier Baez and Kris Bryant hit consecutive home runs for the Chicago Cubs and yet they still became the only winless team in the majors this spring, falling to the Cleveland Indians 10-6 Tuesday.
The Cubs, full of expectations this season under new manager Joe Maddon, dropped to 0-6. Milwaukee posted its first exhibition win earlier in the day.
Soler, Baez and Bryant connected in the fourth inning off Trevor Bauer. Baez got his first hit of the spring.
Welington Castillo singled after the three homers. Castillo homered later in the day.
The Cubs made four errors.
Michael Bourn had three hits and Tyler Holt, celebrating his 26th birthday, drove in two runs for the Indians.
Chicago starter Travis Wood gave up four runs, two of them earned, and seven hits in three innings.
>>Jays Lose Stroman For Season
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman will miss the 2015 season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee.
The 23-year-old right-hander was hurt Tuesday morning during pitchers' fielding practice.
"Beyond devastated. Not being able to compete with my brothers each and every day is extremely disappointing," Stroman wrote Tuesday on Twitter. "Still can't believe it."
Stroman was expected to be a key piece to Toronto's starting rotation this season after a strong rookie campaign. He was 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA and 111 strikeouts over 130 2/3 innings in 26 games, including 20 starts, in 2014.
