The Indians scored a pair of runs in the 4th on an RBI single by Eric Stamets and a bases-loaded walk to Greg Allen.

Mike Clevinger started, allowing two earned runs over 3.0 innings as Indians bullpen arms Tyler Olson, Jon Edwards, and Brad Hand added scoreless outings.

The game’s 9th inning began with a runner placed on second base to begin the inning, with the Rangers capitalizing with a walk-off, RBI single to end the final spring contest.

The Indians will hold an optional work out tomorrow, Wednesday, March 27 in Minneapolis at 2pm and will open the 2019 season the following day at 4:10pm.
