Reds have 6 doubles in 10-0 win over Indians



  • GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) -- Brandon Phillips, Todd Frazier and Jay Bruce each had one of the Cincinnati Reds' six doubles in a 10-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday, the spring opener for both teams.


    ''The base running was outstanding,'' Reds manager Bryan Price said. ''We worked hard on that. We were more aggressive on the bases. We had great at-bats. We had 10 RBIs by 10 hitters. The pitchers came in and threw strikes. That's the kind of game we need to play.''

    Phillips doubled in his first at-bat off Cleveland starter Zach McAllister and scored on a single by Devin Mesoraco.

    McAllister is trying to win a job as Cleveland's fifth starter, but the right-hander could also wind up in the bullpen. He made seven relief appearances in September and the Indians were pleased to see his velocity improve when he pitched late in games.

    Jason Marquis, who is competing for one of two open spots in the Reds' starting rotation, struck out three and walked two in two scoreless innings.

    ''He was a hair erratic. I give him a little bit of a pass the first game, Price said. ''They are getting acclimated to pitching again. I still think he threw the ball fine. He will get better with the command of his pitches.''

    After his team was blanked on four hits, Indians manager Terry Francona said he thought McAllister pitched well. However, he couldn't find many other positives on a day Major League Baseball tested its new pace of play initiatives for the first time.

    ''It's like we were working on pace of play when we were hitting,'' Francona cracked. ''Hopefully we'll do better tomorrow.
