Angels at the plate: Kendry Morales, who singled in his first at-bat, unloaded a grand slam, his first homer of the spring, to highlight a six-run second inning against Chad Gaudin. Ryan Budde delivered a pair of singles, and Chris Pettit singled and drove in a run. Howie Kendrick singled and walked, picking up an RBI.

Cubs at the plate: Bobby Scales was credited with a two-run double when a windblown pop fly fell into shallow center, beyond the grasp of shortstop Erick Aybar. Milton Bradley and Doug Deeds singled in front of Scales and scored on the full-count popup with two outs.
Angels on the mound: Dustin Moseley delivered four strong innings, allowing two earned runs on a popup that was lost in the sun and fell for a gift double by Scales on what should have been the third out of the fourth inning. Moseley struck out four and walked one, allowing four hits. Darren Oliver yielded two hits in a scoreless inning, striking out one, and Jose Arredondo walked one man in a scoreless inning. Sean O'Sullivan pitched two perfect innings, striking out one. Jason Bulger struck out two of three in the ninth. Cubs on the mound: Gaudin fought his control, walking four men along with five hits and six earned runs in 1 2/3 innings. He served up a first-pitch grand slam to Morales. Justin Berg pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Mitch Atkins worked two scoreless innings, yielding two hits and a walk while striking out two, and Chad Fox and Ken Kadokura each worked a scoreless inning. Cactus League records: Angels 11-3; Cubs (ss) 8-9 Up next: The Cubs host the Angels on Saturday. Right-hander Aaron Heilman is set to start for the Cubs, facing southpaw Joe Saunders. Expected to follow Heilman to the mound are Angel Guzman, Kevin Gregg, Neal Cotts, Randy Wells, Mike Stanton and Carlos Marmol. Marmol, who will be making his third appearance of the spring, has returned to camp after representing the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.Lyle Spencer is a reporter for MLB.com.
