played with Rodney last season in Miami. “That’s something you’ve got to have. You need a good mix of seriousness and there’s also a time to keep it loose and he definitely brings that side of it, too, so that’s good.”
“He’s a crazy guy,” Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta added, “but, you know, in a good way.” Cleveland Santana 1b Clbello 1b F.Lndor ss Y.Chang ss Ramirez 2b J.Frmin 2b Encrncn dh Hggerty pr B.Guyer lf Mrabell lf Jackson cf T.Nquin cf Y.Gomes c E.Kratz c Ya.Diaz 3b Mrtinez pr Almonte rf A.Clica pr Indians 9, Diamondbacks 4 Arizona 4 1 3 2 2 2 3 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 3 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 2 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 Pollock cf Hrrmann 1b Peralta rf Hzlbker lf Gldhmdt 1b K.Ngron rf Ja.Lamb 3b Fuentes cf Y.Tomas lf H.Cnger c B.Drury 2b Mrzilli ph C.Owngs ss Dscalso 3b J.Mthis c Brnstin pr Rob.Ray sp N.Ahmed ph 3 2 3 2 2 2 2 1 3 1 3 1 1 2 2 0 1 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Cleveland 020 015 010 — 9 Arizona 000 130 000 — 4 E—Borenstein (1).

LF Yasmany Tomas had two of Arizona’s first three hits, including an RBI double. RF David Peralta went 2 for 3 with an RBI, finishing the spring hitting .322. CF A.J. Pollock, who missed two weeks of Cactus League play with groin tightness, went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and finished the spring batting .143. SS Chris Owings showed great hustle in going from first to third on C Jeff Mathis’ single up the middle. Pinch-hitter Nick Ahmed hit an RBI single in the fifth. On the mound: LHP Robbie Ray, who will pitch fourth in the starting rotation, made his final tune-up and after retiring the side to open the game, he was greeted by a no-doubt, line drive home run to left by Edwin Encarnacion on a 3-1 pitch. Yan Gomes followed with a two-out towering homer to left off Ray in the inning. Ray retired the side in order once again in the third, but walked two batters in the fourth while managing to strike out the side. He left in the fifth having allowed three runs on three hits with two walks and five strikeouts. Extra bases: Mathis had three passed balls, all of which came during a five-run sixth inning by the Indians. … Manager Torey Lovullo was asked about the brutal schedule his team faces in the first two weeks, which includes four straight against the Giants, followed by three games against the Indians, and then a seven-game trip that features three games against the Giants again followed by four straight in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. “To be honest with you, I don’t think these guys are so focused on that, but if you would mention it to them, I guarantee you they would be ready for that challenge and say, ‘Let’s get this thing going, let’s see where we are, let’s see how we stack up against the best.’ ” Lovullo said. Up next: Opening Day is Sunday. Diamondbacks RHP Zack Greinke vs. Giants LHP Madison Bumgarner, 1 p.m., Chase Field.
