<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->During Sunday's game, manager Lou Piniella yanked Luis Vizcaino with two outs in the fifth after the veteran right-hander gave up a game-tying two-run single to Ian Kinsler after loading the bases on three walks.
"Well, you can't walk three people, that's for sure," Piniella said.
Kevin Hart was no better. Trailing 3-2, Hart loaded the bases in the ninth and fell behind Greg Golson 2-0. Piniella sent out pitching coach Larry Rothschild, but Golson hit a grand slam to put the game out of reach.
"He needs to improve," Piniella said. "I talked to Larry about it. Getting behind hitters. I know it's still a little early in camp, but I haven't seen [progress]."
Hart is likely to get a chance to improve at Triple-A Iowa, not with the Cubs.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
