The Chicago Cubs (7-11) send SP Travis Wood to the mound, hoping the young lefty can improve against the Seattle Mariners (11-6).
Wood has played in two games so far this Spring Training, giving up 1 run in his first outing, but allowing 5 ER in his second game -- in which he lasted only 1 out. Wood came to the Cubs in the RP Sean Marshall trade last December. The 25-year-old is among several pitchers vying for a position at the bottom of the team's rotation.
