Highlights and lowlights from around spring training:
WHO'S HOT
Daryle Ward had three hits, including his second home run in two days, for the Cubs in their 7-6 split-squad loss to the Athletics.
WHO'S NOT
Jason Bulger, a candidate for a spot in the Angels bullpen, allowed four runs and four walks with two strikeouts in 1 2/3 innings.
BASEBALL TALK
Oakland starter Rich Harden was roughed up, partly because he is trying to make a change in his delivery. The right-hander discovered a flaw in his pitching motion while watching videotape of himself Friday night.
“It's something that I used to do a few years back,” Harden said, without disclosing specifics. “With injuries you kind of start pitching away from pain. Your body changes its mechanics.”
