GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Leake pitched four scoreless innings to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cleveland Indians 5-1 on Thursday.

Leake, vying with Homer Bailey and Travis Wood for two openings in the rotation, allowed three hits, struck out two and walked one.

Dontrelle Willis, who left his previous outing with a sprained right ankle, followed Leake with a scoreless inning and legged out a triple. The big left-hander is trying to earn a spot in Cincinnati’s bullpen.

Fausto Carmona pitched six innings for Cleveland, allowing two runs and six hits. The scheduled opening-day starter struck out five and walked two.

Todd Frazier hit his first spring homer for Cincinnati.
