 Gregg beat out Carlos Marmol, the Cubs' setup man last year. Going into Sunday, Gregg hadn't given up a run all spring.
The Cubs obtained the 30-year-old Gregg during the offseason in a trade with Florida. Last season, he saved 29 games for the Marlins.
The right-hander also had 32 saves in 2007 and has 62 for his career.
Marmol entered Sunday with a 1-1 record and 4.50 ERA in spring training. He has hit five batters with pitches.
Marmol returns to his role of setup man to begin the season.
