Coco Crisp and Daric Barton hit home runs off Mike Leake, lifting the Oakland A's over the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 Tuesday.

Leake allowed seven runs in his worst spring outing. He also gave up two doubles among six Oakland hits in 2 1-3 innings.

Leake made the Reds' rotation by default when an MRI exam revealed inflammation in Johnny Cueto's right shoulder.

Brett Anderson, in line to be Oakland's opening-night starter, gave up four runs and four hits in six innings. NL MVP Joey Votto and Jonny Gomes homered for the Reds.

Votto also doubled and singled and drove in four runs.

Barton, Kurt Suzuki and Mark Ellis added doubles for the A's.
