Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (Intrasquad Game): Cubs Home Whites 0, Cubs Road Blues 0 – Darvish Hits 97 MPH in First Outing
Kyle Hendricks and Yu Darvish faced off today in the Cubs’ first intrasquad game of Summer Camp. While the scrimmage was not televised, we managed to pull together some of the news and notes from Saturday afternoon at Wrigley. We’re still early in the process of baseball returning, but it’s nice to have baseball-related content again coming out of Wrigley Field.
The biggest takeaway is there were no injuries and the game went off without any complications. Both pitchers got in their three innings of work and both looked relatively good, from what we can tell. Darvish even touched 97 MPH a few times, so that’s also nice to see this early.

Caratini is 2-for-2 with a pair of singles back up the middle off Hendricks in the scrimmage.

Darvish so efficient in second (gets a strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play) that he pitches to one more batter (Ian Miller) and Ks him.

Five hits, zero runs allowed by Hendricks in three innings. Darvish working on his pickoff move to 1st.
