The Reds are circleing the wagons in Apache country.
The Indians jumped on the Reds for the second straight day, scoring two runs in the first off Johnny Cueto. Mark Grudzielanek doubled in a run and scored on a single by Nick Weglarz.
Andy Marte hit a two-run home run off Cueto in the second inning.
Cueto was asked to give up winter ball this year.
"I don't expect him to be as sharp in his first outing since he didn't pitch winter ball," Dusty Baker said before the game. "You can tell the players that played winter ball, like Asdrubial Cabrera,yesterday or on our side Juan Francisco. They've just had two weeks off. The other guys have been sitting out all winter."
Cueto spent the winter, "chilling at home and working on my English."
"I feel strong," Cueto said. "I am working on my curveball."
