A couple offseason acquisitions led the way for the Indians on Tuesday, as the team won their first spring training game of 2019, topping the Colorado Rockies 5-3 at Salt River Fields.
Right fielder Daniel Johnson, who was picked up in the deal that sent catcher Yan Gomes to the Nationals, collected his first multi-hit effort of the spring campaign, going 2-for-3 with an RBI-triple in the second inning and a solo home run in the seventh.
Old friend Carlos Santana provided the Tribe’s other long-ball on the day, hitting a 2-run homer in the sixth inning.
