Cleveland 18, Detroit 10

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- Alan Trammell walked off the field with a scowl, told an attendant to turn down the television in the clubhouse and stomped into his office.

Trammell is upset about how the Detroit Tigers have started spring training coming off their AL-record 119-loss season.

"I feel more impatient than I did last year at any time," said Trammell, after the Cleveland Indians beat Detroit 18-10 Sunday. "I expect us to be better. I don't expect us to be in midseason form, but I didn't expect us to be this bad."

Casey Blake and Corey Smith each hit grand slams, Ronnie Belliard hit a three-run homer and Travis Hafner added a solo home run for the Indians, who have scored 42 runs in their first three exhibition games.

"We deserve what we got," Trammell said.

Smith, a first-round pick in 2000, also hit a three-run homer in Cleveland's 6-2 win over Detroit in a "B" game Sunday morning.

"I've got nothing but good things to say about him and the way he's working on the total game," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "He's been doing it the right way."

Detroit has not.

Since the Tigers beat Montreal in their Grapefruit League opener, they have lost three straight. They are also 0-3 in "B" games.

Trammell knows some -- or most -- keeping an eye on the Tigers' start may believe they will be awful again, despite adding Ivan Rodriguez and six other major leaguers during the offseason.

"I know what people are thinking and we have to take that," Trammell said. "The easy thing to do is to get upset, but I am.

"Last year is over and I want to be better. I'm not so inclined to sit there and take it."

Trammell said he may have a team meeting Tuesday, the day of Detroit's next home game.

Rodriguez was 0-for-3, but did throw out Alex Escobar attempting to steal second base for the Tigers.

The first two pitchers for both teams are candidates to be No. 5 starters.

Cleveland's Jeff D'Amico started the game by giving up a homer to Alex Sanchez and a triple to Fernando Vina in a two-run first, then retired the side in the second inning. Jason Stanford gave up three runs on four hits in two innings for the Indians.

Detroit's Ariel Prieto and Shane Loux allowed only one hit in their first inning before giving up a three-run homer and a grand slam in their second innings.

When the Tigers' pitchers weren't struggling, their defense did -- with five errors leading to nine unearned runs.

"It was a sloppy game, but there were a lot of good things that happened for us," Wedge said.

Game notes
Legendary golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez attended the game to see his friend, Ivan Rodriguez, who he met four years ago at a charity event in Puerto Rico. ... In the "B" game, Brandon Inge's search for a new position with the Tigers put him in center field for the first time in his career. "He didn't look out of place," Trammell said. With the signing of Rodriguez and Mike DiFelice, there's not a roster spot at catcher for Inge.
