Closer Kerry Wood did not make his scheduled appearance against the Rangers on Saturday.

“He’s got a little bit of spring training (arm) soreness,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “He just didn’t feel ready to pitch.”

Wood, 32 was healthy last year in his first season with the Indians, but he’s got a long list of injuries, making 12 trips to the disabled list over a 12-year career.

The right-hander has made two appearances this spring, both of them scoreless outings.

Rangers (4-4-1) 5, Indians (5-1-2) 0

Hits: Justin Masterson was impressive in his second start (third appearance) of the spring. The right-hander didn’t allow an earned run and just three hits, while striking out six over 3 2/3 innings. His best work came in the second inning when the Rangers loaded the bases with one out and Masterson struck out the next two hitters – Julio Borbon and Elvis Andrus. … Reliever Tony Sipp pitched a scoreless ninth with a strikeout to end the inning. … Third base prospect Lonnie Chisenhall had one of Cleveland’s four hits (double) and walked twice.

Misses: Carlos Carrasco’s exhibition debut was a dud. The right-hander acquired for Cliff Lee allowed three runs on six hits and a hit batter in three innings. … Center fielder Michael Brantley dropped a shallow fly ball from the first batter of the game and was charged with a two-base error. He was hitless in two official at-bats. … Left fielder Chris Gimenez went 0-for-4 and struck out three times.

Debut defeat: The Indians suffered their first loss of the exhibition season after battling to ties in their two previous games.

“Even a tie would’ve done better, another one,” said Cleveland manager Manny Acta.

Attendance: 4,260 at Goodyear Ballpark.

Indians (5-0-2) 7, (split-squad) Angels (2-4-2) 7

Hits: Fausto Carmona tossed three shutout innings and allowed just a hit in his exhibition debut. … Matt LaPorta was 1-for-2 and drove in the Indians’ first two runs with a single in the second. … Reliever Rafael Perez faced the minimum in the seventh with two strikeouts. He hasn’t allowed a hit and has struck out five in three appearances (three innings). … Catcher Mike Redmond went 2-for-3 with a double and a run. … Sandusky native Brian Bixler, who is trying to make the team as an extra outfielder, went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run. … Left fielder Trevor Crowe made a diving catch in the sixth and his throw to double up Brandon Wood at first was in time, but Andy Marte couldn’t handle the ball on a hop. The Indians still got the out after an appeal, because Wood had rounded the second-base bag and did not step on it again on his way back to first.

Misses: Jake Westbrook allowed four runs on three hits in 2 1/3 innings of his second exhibition start. He allowed hits to the first three batters he faced, capped by Mike Napoli’s three-run homer. … Reliever Joe Smith allowed the Angels to tie it in the ninth with three runs on three hits and a hit batter. Smith served up a two-out, two-run home run to Michael Ryan, then allowed the Angels to tie it after a bunt single followed by a base hit down the right-field line from Ryan Mount.

Grady and Pronk: Two of the Indians’ high-profiled players coming off injuries, Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner, were in the lineup.

Sizemore walked twice in three trips to the plate, including once with the bases loaded. He leads the team with seven RBIs in three games.

Hafner went 1-for-4 with a run and a walk. His hit was a line-drive single over the shortstop’s head. He has two singles in four games and 10 at-bats.  

The Indians got a scare when second baseman and leadoff hitter Asdrubal Cabrera left the game with an injury after diving back to third base on a pickoff attempt in the fifth inning, but it doesn’t appear serious.

After the game, manager Manny Acta said Cabrera had a “little pain in his (left) leg.”

Cabrera did not walk with a limp as he made his way off the field with the rest of Cleveland’s regulars en route to board a bus for the Indians clubhouse.

Head trainer Lonnie Soloff is expected to update Cabrera’s status today.
