Chris Haft - MLB.com
Giants at the plate: Eddy Martinez-Esteve hit a leadoff homer in the seventh to tie the game, and Ryan Rohlinger hit a grand slam in the eighth off Les Walrond. The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the first when Eugenio Velez reached on an error by pitcher Carlos Zambrano, stole second, advanced on a wild pitch, and scored on a RBI single by Brett Harper. Harper added a sacrifice fly in the third.
Cubs at the plate: Mike Fontenot, who hit a three-run homer and a triple on Thursday, hit an RBI double in the first. Alex Cintron had a pair of RBI singles. Kosuke Fukudome walked twice, scored two runs, and flied out in the fifth. Casey McGehee hit a tiebreaking two-out RBI single in the seventh and a RBI double in the ninth.
Giants on the mound: Starter Jonathan Sanchez faced eight batters in one inning, and gave up three runs on three hits and two walks. Keichi Yabu walked two in two hitless innings of relief.
Cubs on the mound: Zambrano, the Cubs' Opening Day starter, gave up one run, unearned, on two hits over two innings and struck out two. Rich Hill gave up one run on three hits and struck out three over two innings.
Cactus League records: Giants 1-1; Cubs 1-1.
Up next: Left-hander Barry Zito will make his first spring start Saturday for the Giants as they play host to his former team, the Oakland Athletics. The Cubs travel to Tempe, Ariz., to face the Angels, and Jason Marquis is scheduled to start against Jered Weaver.
