Kevin Gregg has beat out Carlos Marmol for the right to close games for the Cubs this season.

"Gregg came in here and hasn't given up a run all spring," manager Lou Piniella said Sunday. "I think leaving spring training, we're a better team the way we've put this thing together."

Gregg and Marmol spent spring training vying to replace All-Star closer Kerry Wood, who signed with Cleveland during the offseason.
