Starting rotation: Mitch Talbot made his second straight impressive start. He allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out two.

Bullpen: Rafael Perez, still trying to shake off the rust after missing a chunk of time early in camp, pitched into and out of trouble in the seventh. He gave up an RBI double to Tony Abreu, but ended the inning without further trouble by retiring Ryan Roberts for the third out with runners on second and third.

Manager Manny Acta worked his bullpen as if it were the regular season. He started the eighth with lefty Tony Sipp, who retired lefties Gerardo Parra and Russell Branyan. Then he brought in righty Chris Perez, who struck out righty Konrad Schmidt. Perez went 1 1/3 innings for his first save of the spring.

Babe Valbuena: Luis Valbuena started the third inning with his team-high fourth homer of the spring. He's competing for the starting third base job and the utility infielder's job.

Nice throw: Michael Brantley started a double play in the fifth when he caught Willie Bloomquist's sacrifice fly in center and threw out Nicholas Gallego going from first to third.
