MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Fausto Carmona threw six scoreless innings to help the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 9-2 on Monday.

Carmona allowed two hits, both by Alfonso Soriano, and walked none. The big right-hander was 19-8 with a 3.06 ERA in 2007 before going 13-19 with a 5.89 ERA over the next two years. He has been plagued by wildness but he has issued only two walks in 13 spring innings.

Jeff Samardzija, in his final start before the Cubs announce their season-opening rotation this week, gave up two runs and four hits in four innings.

Carlos Silva has outpitched Samardzija, who could be headed to the bullpen.

One day after hitting two homers and driving in five runs, Cleveland’s Austin Kearns went 2 for 2 and scored twice.
