Game info from Indians’ win over Seattle on Thursday

Indians (13-6-2) 3, (ss) Mariners (8-13-1) 1

 

Hits: Starting pitcher David Huff allowed five hits and three walks but only one run through 4 1/3 innings. The left-hander worked out of a number of jams during the outing. … Designated hitter Travis Hafner reached base in all three of his plate appearances with a single, double and a walk. … Left-hander Aaron Laffey didn’t allow a run and just two hits over the last four innings of the game. … Left fielder Michael Brantley produced Cleveland’s only RBI with a double in the fifth inning.

 

Misses: Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and catcher Lou Marson each went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. … First baseman Matt LaPorta went 0-for-3 and failed to pick a ball that would have completed an inning-ending double play in the seventh.

 

Branyan sighting: Though he did not play and has yet to make his exhibition debut, first baseman Russell Branyan (herniated disk lower back) was in the dugout for the first time this spring. Manager Manny Acta said Branyan has accelerated his activities in hopes of playing over the final week of the exhibition season, a deadline Acta has placed for Branyan to make the opening-day roster.

 

Attendance: 3,534 at Goodyear Ballpark.
