GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Chris Young shook off a rough start to Spring Training with a strong showing at the plate on Tuesday afternoon, helping power the D-backs to a 16-5 victory over the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark.
Young, who entered the game hitting just .200 in Cactus League play, launched a two-run home run off Cleveland's Fausto Carmona to highlight a four-run outburst in the second inning. Two frames later, Young drove in another pair of runs with a double off Cleveland pitcher Corey Kluber.
Young finished with four RBIs to lead Arizona, which pounded out 13 runs and 17 hits through the first five innings. Young and Stephen Drew connected for consecutive homers off Carmona in the second. Drew added an RBI double in the fourth. Kelly Johnson, Henry Blanco and Gerardo Parra also drove in runs.

Carmona, who is penciled in as the Indians' Opening Day starter, allowed six runs on seven hits over three innings of work in his third outing of the spring. Carmona ended with four strikeouts and one walk. Cleveland pitching prospect Alex White surrendered four runs on seven hits over two innings.
D-backs starter Daniel Hudson logged three innings against the Tribe, yielding one run on five hits with four strikeouts. Cleveland's lone run against Hudson came in the third inning, when shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera singled and later crossed home plate on a run-scoring base hit from right fielder Shin-Soo Choo.
Indians up next: After a trip to Florida to be at his wife's side for the birth of their daughter, right-hander Carlos Carrasco is back in camp with the Indians and slated to start on Wednesday. He will take the mound when the Tribe hosts the Padres in a 3:05 p.m. ET tilt at Goodyear Ballpark. Catcher Carlos Santana is also scheduled to make his spring debut as a first baseman for the Indians. Rotation candidate David Huff is also expected to pitch.
