Ryan Raburn blasted a two-run homer off Homer Bailey, powering the Indians to a 4-0 victory over the Reds in Cactus League play on Friday. |
The 32-year-old utilityman had a resurgence in Cleveland in 2013, slashing .272/.357/.543 with 16 homers and 55 RBI in only 243 at-bats. He mashes against left-handed pitching and has enough power to be mixed league relevant provided he finds his way into Terry Francona's lineup semi-regularly. |
