RecapCarson Kelly went 1-for-3 and cranked a two-run homer as the Cubs throttled the Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon in spring training action.
The 31-year-old backstop victimized Ryan Thompson in the fifth inning, belting an 0-1 slider for a two-run blast to left that extended the Diamondbacks’ lead to 7-1. That would be his only hit in three at-bats on the day. For the spring, Kelly is now hitting .267 (4-for-15) with a pair of homers and four RBI.
