CUBS 4, BREWERS 3

Chatwood ready

Fifth starter Tyler Chatwood pitched into the sixth inning Friday, allowing two runs and six hits in his last Cactus League game of the spring. He also doubled home a run in the Cubs’ three- run fifth. Chatwood will make a scaledback start in aminor- league game Wednesday in Arizona before rejoining the Cubs for their season- opening series in Miami.

Roster set?

When the Cubs optioned left- hander Randy Rosario to Class AAA Iowa, they appeared to finalize their opening- day roster. Manager Joe Maddon said the decision already had been made to carry eight relievers, which set the 12- man position side, assuming veteran Chris Gimenez keeps the backup- catching job that was his to lose. Rosario’s exit seemed to secure the final bullpen job for right- hander Eddie Butler, who is out of options.

Strop set?

A day after setup man Pedro Strop ( calf) made his second appearance of the spring and first in a big- league game, Maddon said the Cubs still are waiting to make a decision about his status for the opening- day roster. ‘‘ We have a couple of more times out before we have to decide, but he looked outstanding,’’ Maddon said of the 1- 2- 3 inning Strop pitched Thursday against the Giants.

Bourjos gone

Outfielder Peter Bourjos, who left after a run- scoring single in the fifth because of a cramp in his left calf, was to be released to pursue other big- league jobs after the Cubs decided he would not make the opening- day roster.
