GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Joey Votto homered for his first hit of spring training, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-1 victory over a Milwaukee Brewers split-squad on Thursday.

The first baseman was 0 for 9 before his long solo drive off left-hander Chris Capuano, who is trying to resume his career after elbow problems kept him out of the majors for the last two seasons.

"It was just a matter of time because Joey Votto can hit," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Still, it's nice to see him hit one on that (outfield) bank up there."

INDIANS 5, WHITE SOX 5, 10 INNINGS: Brian Horwitz hit a run-scoring single in the ninth inning for Cleveland, and the game was called after a scoreless 10th.

C.J. Retherford hit a two-run homer during a three-run eighth that put Chicago ahead 5-4.

Cleveland, the only unbeaten team in spring training, scored three runs in the second against Freddy Garcia, who allowed five hits and struck out three over three innings in his second spring start.

RED SOX 8, METS 2: John Lackey is off to a nice start with the Red Sox.

The right-hander threw three shutout innings in Boston's 8-2 victory over Jason Bay and the New York Mets.

RAYS (SS) 16, PIRATES 15: Tampa Bay catcher Dioner Navarro was struck by a pickoff throw in the third inning and departed with an injured left thumb.

Navarro was hit when Jack Taschner threw over. It was diagnosed as a contusion, and Navarro returned to the Rays' complex in Port Charlotte for further evaluation.

Winds were gusting up to 35 mph toward left field at the start of the game, and both teams took advantage.

DIAMONDBACKS 4, ANGELS 1: With the uncertain status of Brandon Webb, newcomer Edwin Jackson's performance thus far this spring must be comforting for Arizona.

The right-hander, acquired in a trade with Detroit in the offseason, allowed one hit over three innings in the Diamondbacks' win. He has yet to give up a run in five innings this spring.

PHILLIES 4, TIGERS 0: Joe Blanton used a mix of fastballs and changeups to shut down Detroit.

ATHLETICS 7, BREWERS (SS) 3: Milwaukee's biggest offseason acquisition is working on a nice spring with his new team.

Randy Wolf struck out four in three scoreless innings, but Gabe Gross hit a two-run triple in the seventh and Michael Taylor added a three-run homer in the eighth to power Oakland to the victory.

RAYS (SS) 4, BLUE JAYS 1: Andy Sonnanstine pitched four scoreless innings to lead a Tampa Bay split-squad to the victory.

RANGERS 16, ROCKIES 5: Colorado's Aaron Cook was hit hard in his second spring start, allowing nine hits and nine runs, five earned, in 2 2-3 innings.

CUBS 8, PADRES 7: Carlos Silva threw three scoreless innings, helping the Cubs get the win.

DODGERS 6, ROYALS 4:Russ Ortiz pitched three scoreless innings, and Andre Ethier and Casey Blake homered for Los Angeles.

CARDINALS 5, MARLINS 3

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- Florida got another strong start from ace Josh Johnson but a bad ending from its closer.

St. Louis roughed up Leo Nunez during a five-run ninth to pick up the win.

Nunez, who saved 26 games last season, allowed four hits before leaving with two outs and runners at second and third. He was charged with five runs, three earned.

Johnson, the Marlins' opening-day starter, struck out the side in the first, mixing in a changeup with a fastball that hit 94 mph. He finished with four strikeouts over three scoreless innings.

Kyle Lohse tossed four scoreless innings for St. Louis, throwing 33 of his 44 pitches for strikes.
