Spring Game Recap: 3/30

Here are the box scores from Tuesday's games against the Reds' affiliates.

- This has nothing to do with the game action on Tuesday, but I am hearing that RHP Josh Judy has been experiencing some arm issues. It is not considered serious, but the Indians are being very cautious and have supposedly shut him down for a few days. There is a possibility he could open the season in extended spring training.

- If anyone reads or hears about a rumor floating around the internet that the Indians are not happy with catcher Lou Marson and are looking to trade for a veteran catcher....it is 110% bogus. The Indians are very committed to Marson as the starting catcher to open the season, and they have no interest in acquiring a veteran catcher.

- As for the game action on Tuesday, Columbus brought their hitting shoes as they put up 10 runs on 17 hits, and were led by 2B Brian Bixler (3-for-3, RBI) and DH Russell Branyan (2-for-3, HR, 2 RBI, BB). Nice to see Russell the Muscle in action finally.

- LHP Scott Lewis and RHP Dave Roberts were roughed up for Columbus. Lewis went 4 innings and allowed 4 runs on 4 hits, 1 walk and had 3 strikeouts while Roberts went 2 innings and allowed 4 runs on 6 hits with no walks or strikeouts.

- RHP Paolo Espino had a nice outing for Akron going 4 shutout innings and allowed 3 hits, 1 walk and had 5 strikeouts. Nothing is set in stone yet, but he appears to be heading for the Akron bullpen to start the season.

- 2B Jason Kipnis continues to rake this spring as he went 2-for-5 with a 2B, HR, and RBI. I won't post the final stats until after the spring games are complete, but I think that was his 4th or 5th home run of the spring in about 10 games.

- DH/1B Chris Kersten continues to hit and hit with some power this spring as he went 2-for-4 with 2 2Bs on Tuesday. Aside from Kipnis, Kersten has probably been the most impressive offensive performer this spring and looks to be in line for the DH/1B job at Lake County to open the season.

- RHP Preston Guilmet (pictured) threw 3 shutout-hitless innings and allowed 2 walks while striking out 4. He will likely open in a swing role at either Kinston or Lake County (think Russell Young's role to start last season).

- 2B/SS Adam Davis and OF Roman Pena each homered in the Mahoning Valley game.
