ARLINGTON Zach Davies Jersey , Texas (AP) — tried to approach this spring training like any other even though he’ll start the season opener Thursday with three-time All-Star Francisco Lindor on the injured list because of a calf strain.Stamets hit a grand slam in the fourth inning, his first home run of the spring, and the Indians beat the Texas Rangers 10-1 on Monday night.“If my name’s up in the lineup, then I’m going to play,” said Stamets, who went 2 for 4 and is hitting .250 with one spring training game left. “If it’s not, then I’ll just do my best to do my role as a teammate.“I wouldn’t say it was the best spring. I wouldn’t say it was the worst spring. I worked on some things in the offseason with my swing. Defensively, I’ve made the plays.”Kevin Plawecki added a two-run homer in the ninth http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-orlando-arcia-jersey , and Greg Allen had a bases-loaded triple in the eighth.Carlos Carrasco allowed one run and five hits in 5 2/3 innings for Cleveland. He struck out four, walked one and hit two batters with pitches.“I think our five starters have pitched well this spring,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “Lineup-wise we’re a little banged up, but it’s nice to know you’re going to run those guys out there every day ’cause they’re all good.”Ronald Guzman hit his team-leading fifth homer of the spring for Texas.Rangers starter Edinson Volquez, who missed last season following Tommy John surgery, gave up four runs and five hits in 3 1/3 innings. He walked three and plunked one batter with a pitch.“Obviously, he kind of ran out of gas there at the end,” manager Chris Woodward said. “First couple of innings were really good. He was sharp Boone Logan Jersey , felt great.”FATHER-SON MOMENTBefore the game, the lineup cards were exchanged by Rangers bench coach Don Wakamatsu and his son, Indians minor league shortstop Luke Wakamatsu. Luke played the final four innings and singled in his only at-bat and scored.“It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Luke Wakamatsu, who graduated from nearby Keller High.TRAINER’S ROOMIndians 3B Jose Ramirez took grounders at the team’s complex in Arizona after leaving Sunday’s exhibition game with a bruised left knee. Ramirez will rejoin the team Wednesday in Minnesota for the workout day before Thursday’s opener against the Twins. While Francona wouldn’t say Ramirez will play Thursday, he said Monday’s session was “a pretty good indicator he’s doing all right.”RANGERS MOVESRHP Zach McAllister, signed to a $1 million non-guaranteed contract in January, was placed on unconditional release waivers. … RHPs Matt Bush and Rafael Montero were assigned to minor league camp to continue rehabilitation from offseason surgery.UP NEXTIndians RHP Mike Clevinger will close out the two exhibition games at Texas with his fourth spring start. In 13 2/3 innings Josh Hader Jersey , Clevinger has allowed 13 hits, struck out 16 and walked six. Rangers LHP Drew Smyly has pitched 9 1/3 innings in four spring starts after being limited by a March 2017 elbow injury to one minor league appearance during the past two years. The 31-year-old South Korean has shown the ability to dominate at times and will do his best to make it happen.Why the Red Six can pay on the MLB linesThe Red Sox were outstanding offensively in Game 1 and will lean on David Price (16-7, 3.58 ERA) and his pitching next in Game 2. The 33-year-old came through on the road in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, allowing just three hits to the defending World Series champion Houston Astros in six scoreless innings with no walks and nine strikeouts to earn the first postseason victory of his career.Like Ryu, Price is capable of dominating opponents if he can just forget about past failures in the playoffs. Winning at Houston was a huge first step, and beating L.A. would be bigger. Smart betting pickThe big question here if you want to back Boston is, can you really trust Price in this key spot? His last start was remarkable, especially since it came away from home. He was 9-2 at Fenway Park during the regular season with a 2.98 ERA Starlin Castro Jersey , more than a run lower than on the road. Meanwhile, Ryu simply cannot be trusted considering how poorly he pitched at Milwaukee in the National League Championship Series, so oddsmakers got it right in making the Red Sox home favorites. The Dodgers have lost five straight games at Fenway, according to the OddsShark MLB Database, and they will make it six in a row after falling again in Game 2 on Wednesday.
