GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Brandon Dixon was going to be the last batter Kendall Graveman faced regardless of the outcome, but it's the outcome that will sit with Graveman the next four days.

Graveman was capped at 70 pitches Monday, and Dixon homered to left field on the 69th.

"I didn't locate as well as the game went on ... and one bad pitch there at the end, otherwise you leave feeling pretty good about it," Graveman said.

It marked the first game Graveman was scored on this spring.

The Reds tallied one run in the second on two singles and a sac fly and then on Dixon's two-run homer took a 3-1 win at Goodyear Ballpark.
