Iannetta delivers first spring home runs

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Catcher Chris Iannetta launched his first two Cactus League homers Friday. In his first at-bat, he drove an offering from D-backs starter Albert Suarez over the left-field fence for a three-run home run. In the bottom of the fifth, Iannetta came up with one on, and delivered his second shot of the day to break a tie.

Iannetta returned to the Rockies after playing the first six years of his big league career in Colorado. He played four seasons with the Angels after being traded for right-handed pitcher Tyler Chatwood, and played a year each in Seattle and Arizona, where his D-backs beat the Rockies in the Wild Card Game last year.
