Votto makes spring debut; Suarez homers

"I'm getting to know everyone," said Encarnacion, who went 2-for-2 in his Indians debut. "It's going to be a great lineup. We've got great potential. From one through nine, I think we have a lot of good players who can hit. This is going to be a fun year."

For the Reds, Joey Votto went 0-for-3 in his spring debut, but the first baseman did turn in a dazzling play in the field. In the third, outfielder Bradley Zimmer -- Cleveland's No. 1 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com -- ripped a pitch up the first-base line.
