MESA, Ariz. (AP) -- Thanks to freshly minted Arizona Diamondbacks multimillionaire Justin Upton and a slew of Chicago Cubs prospects, it was an afternoon for youth at HoHoKam Park.

Upton's sixth-inning grand slam, his first hit since signing a $51.25 million, six-year contract, wasn't enough for the Arizona Diamondbacks in an 8-7 loss to Chicago on Friday.

Brad Snyder, one of four first-round draft picks to come through for the Cubs, hit a two-run, ninth-inning double off Esmerling Vasquez in a game that began with Chicago's Carlos Zambrano and Diamondbacks' Dan Haren each pitching two hitless innings.

Tyler Colvin had a two-run single and a double. That gave the Cubs' No. 1 2006 amateur pick three doubles, a homer, a single and three RBIs in six at-bats.

2. HoHoKam Park is only a mile away from me

I wonder how much tickets are going for. It would be neat to catch a game or two.
