Bo Diaz cracked a three-run homer and Dan Spillner scattered six hits over eight innings in his first start of the year as the Indians defeated the Angels, 7-3. The game was tied, 2-2, when Andre Thornton and Toby Harrah slapped consecutive two-out singles in the third frame and Diaz followed with his second round-tripper of the season. [The Sporting News]
