GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) Mike Napoli singled twice and scored in his first exhibition game for the Cleveland Indians, which ended in a 4-4 tie with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.

Napoli was signed as a free agent and is expected to share first base and DH duties with Carlos Santana this season. Napoli singled off Cody Reed, and scored from first on a double by Jesus Aguilar.

Eugenio Suarez, who is moving from shortstop to third base for the Reds, doubled for the third time in two games. Jake Cave singled for his third hit in two games. Cave, who must stay on the Reds 25-man roster all season or be offered back to the Yankees, is in a competition for the Reds' open job in left field.

Cleveland's Jose Ramirez homered off Jumbo Diaz. Anthony Recker also homered off reliever Caleb Cotham, who came to the Reds in the trade for Aroldis Chapman.
