MESA, Ariz. (AP) _ Sammy Sosa went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts after agreeing to a $72 million, four-year contract extension, and the Chicago Cubs lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 Friday night.

Ben Sheets allowed all three hits, pitching four innings, and Kane Davis, Curtis Leskanic and Valerio De Los Santos finished with hitless relief.

Former-Cub Tyler Houston homered off Julian Tavarez leading off the fourth and Jeffrey Hammonds hit a two-run double.

Tavarez gave up all three runs and five hits, dropping to 0-3 this spring.
