DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -Alex Gonzalez proved his fitness in the field and at the plate.
The Cincinnati Reds shortstop made an outstanding play in the field and doubled in a run in a 9-6 victory over the club’s top minor leaguers.
Gonzalez, who also turned two double plays, missed all of last season with a compression fracture in his left knee and strained his right hamstring in a Grapefruit League game on March 23.
Edwin Encarnacion and Jerry Hairston Jr. each hit a two-run homer for Cincinnati, which lost 12-4 to the prospects on Friday night. Johnny Cueto allowed one run and four hits in four innings.
Chris Valaika, the Reds’ minor league player of the year in 2008, hit a three-run homer and Todd Frazier had a two-run shot for the Futures team.
