The Diamondbacks’ youngsters’ bats made up for Doug Davis’s poor outing, outslugging the Cleveland Indians 15-9, as Arizona improved to 2-0 in spring play. Dan Haren started the game and pitched two inning for the Snakes, giving up just one hit, a second inning home run to Matt LaPorta.
Davis did not fair near as well, giving up five earned runs on six hits in 1.1 innings. However, the D-Backs bullpen managed to stop the bleeding, giving up just two runs the rest of the way.
Arizona got on the board first in the second inning with an RBI from Mark Reynolds. Arizona scored two runs in the fourth, fifth, sixth and eight innings, with a 6 run seventh inning placed nicely inbetween.
The D-Backs AAA first baseman, Josh Whitesell started the inning off with a solo shot off Tomo Ohka, his first HR of the spring. Ohka gave up six runs in his inning of work.
Mark Reynolds stole two bases for the Snakes, and non-roster invitees, Ryan Roberts, Josh Wilson and Luke Carlin drove in two runs each.
Arizona will take on the Chicago White Sox at 1pm tomorrow afternoon in Tucson.
