Kluber Makes First Spring Start as Indians Host the Reds in Goodyear, the Tribe Starting Nine

Sunday the Indians got their first look at starter Carlos Carrasco, as the Tribe hurler went three innings, allowing a pair of solo homers in the Indians 16-2 win over the Mariners in Peoria.

On offense Sunday the hero was center fielder Oscar Mercado, who went 3-for-3 with a homer (his third of the spring), double, two runs scored and three runs batted in.

Mercado, who was a long shot to make the roster when camp began, is now hitting .444 (12-for-27) with a double, triple, three home runs and eight RBI in 14 Cactus League games.
