Indians pitcher Justin Masterson had his final tune-up of the spring Thursday against the Padres in Cactus League play. Masterson allowed two runs on six hits in five innings of a 6-4 loss. He struck out seven, walked one and threw 59 pitches.
"I was able to keep the sinker down," said Masterson. "I got a good battle out there. I gave up a couple of doubles and had to battle, which gave me a chance to work the mind as well. It was a real good tune up."
Masterson has a 4.76 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP in six starts this spring. He is scheduled to pitch opening day Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
"I feel great going into the opener," said Masterson. "It was nice to have a normal spring training. It was good just to see a nice progression (in my starts)."
