Brantley feeling good, hits first spring homer

Related Topics: Michael Brantley, Left fielder

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Michael Brantley stared at the lineup sheet hanging inside the Indians' clubhouse on Sunday morning and did not see his name. The Indians' left fielder then pulled the paper off the wall, and he marched into the team's training room.

A few minutes later, bench coach Brad Mills posted a fresh lineup on the board with Brantley's name in the No. 2 spot and him starting in left field. With one mistake corrected, Brantley then took advantage of another. In the first inning against the D-backs, the left fielder launched a two-run home run over the right-field wall at Salt River Fields.
