GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Kelly Johnson had three hits and scored twice while wearing a teammates borrowed uniform, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 16-5 victory Tuesday against the Cleveland Indians.

Johnson forgot to pack his jersey and used right-hander Brian Sweeney’s No. 37. The second baseman may want to keep it after he raised his spring average to .500 in seven games.

Chris Young had a two-run homer and four RBIs for Arizona, which totaled 22 hits.

Indians starter Fausto Carmona gave up seven hits and six runs over three innings, including back-to-back homers by Young and Stephen Drew in a four-run second. The Indians also allowed 16 runs on Monday to the White Sox.

Arizona starter Daniel Hudson struck out four over three innings, allowing one run.

Rookie Lonnie Chisenhall had four hits and Shin-Soo Choo a pair of RBI singles for Cleveland, which has allowed 32 runs in its last two games.
