Indians' Edwin Encarnacion: Delivers for new team in spring debut
Encarnacion went 2-for-2 and drove in a run Saturday against the Reds during his first spring game of 2017.
Analysis:
It didn't take long for Encarnacion to look comfortable in an Indians uniform. Cleveland's prize offseason acquisition delivered the team's first run of the spring season with a first-inning RBI single to left field. Encarnacion will serve as the new cleanup hitter for the Tribe's potent lineup. He manned first base on Saturday, but he will also see time as the club's designated hitter this season.
