(AP) -- The Chicago Cubs Bryan LaHair is less than two weeks away from breaking camp on a big league opening day roster for the first time.

LaHair, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound lefty power hitter, showed some of the comfort level he is feeling in Monday's 2-0 win by the Cubs' split squad over the San Diego Padres.

The way the spring is shaping up, left-hander Paul Maholm could be headed for a good year with the Cubs.

Maholm has given up one earned run in 10 spring innings.

He solidified his rotation spot with five shutout innings, allowing four hits while striking out six and walking two.
