    Chicago Cubs right-hander Carlos Silva had his second straight rough spring start.

    Silva, who had an altercation in the dugout with third baseman Aramis Ramirez during his first start last week, gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 2 1/3 innings and the Cubs overcame a nine-run deficit in a 14-13 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday.

    The teams combined for 37 hits and used 13 pitchers. Scott Moore hit a grand slam in a seven-run sixth inning for Chicago. Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo was 4 for 4 with a solo homer, his third of the spring.

    Silva was upset about three errors in the first inning of his first start on Wednesday against the Brewers. He said he accepted blame for the incident.
