THE GAME: The Angels used their projected Opening Day lineup, including starter Andrew Heaney, but still lost 11-10 to the Cleveland Indians on Monday afternoon at Tempe (Ariz.) Diablo Stadium.

PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Heaney, pitching a day after he was named the starter for the March 26 regular-season opener, gave up four runs in 2-2/3 innings. Heaney retired six of seven hitters in the first two innings. In the third, he gave up three straight singles to start the inning, including an infield hit. After a strikeout and a run-scoring groundout got him within an out of escaping the inning, Heaney left a fastball over the middle that Framil Reyes hit out for a three-run homer. … Right-hander Hansel Robles pitched a scoreless inning. … Right-hander Jaime Barria gave up six runs in 3-1/3 innings, including three homers. Barria, who is in the running for one of the final spots in the rotation, had not allowed any runs in his first nine innings this spring. … “It’s hard to evaluate pitching on either side today. The ball was flying,” Angels manager Joe Maddon said.

HITTING REPORT: Jason Castro had two hits, including a double. … Mike Trout walked twice in three trips to the plate. Trout is 5 for 18 this spring. … Shohei Ohtani walked and was robbed of a bloop on a diving catch by right fielder Reyes. Ohtani is 2 for 16 this spring. … Justin Upton hit his first homer of the spring and also singled.

DEFENSE REPORT: Shortstop Andrelton Simmons dove to his right to stop a ground ball, popping up quickly and making a routine throw to first for the out. Simmons made another diving stop two innings later, but he couldn’t get the ball out of his glove. … First baseman Albert Pujols made a diving stop to his right and got a force at second. … David Fletcher played the last five innings in center field and cleanly fielded three singles that dropped in front of him. He said he had not played center field at any level before this game.
