Baez scored the games’ first run in the fifth inning after drawing a walk, stealing second, getting to third on an error and then stealing home when pitcher Josh Spence made a move to first. He finished the day 1-for-3.
Matt Szczur and Rubi Silva each went 0-for-4 and no Cubs pitchers threw Thursday.
