INDIANS 9, RANGERS 2

Daniel Johnson helped his chances in a crowded Cleveland outfield competition by homering twice and Bobby Bradley had three RBIs.

The 25-year-old Johnson, who came to the Indians in a 2018 trade from Washington, spent most of last season at the team’s alternate training site. Bradley continued his impressive spring as he tries to win the starting job at first base.

PIRATES 10, BRAVES 1

Starter Steven Brault and the Pittsburgh staff came within one out of pitching a no-hitter. Phillip Ervin broke up the bid with a two-out single off Nick Mears in the ninth inning.

Ke’Bryan Hayes went 2 for 2, including his fourth double. He’s gotten an extra-base hit in all five of his games. Adam Frazier went 3 for 3 and Jacob Stallings hit a two-run double.
