GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) - Travis Hafner's three-run homer onto a sidewalk beyond the right-field wall capped Cleveland's eight-run second inning off Jason Jennings and powered the Indians to a 12-4 win over a split squad of Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

Hafner homered for the second time in three days, launching the type of deep shot the Indians hope to see from him during the regular season. Coming off shoulder surgery, Cleveland's designated hitter hit just 16 homers last season - 26 fewer than his career high in 2006.

Jennings, signed earlier this month by the A's and in the mix to be their fifth starter, was tagged for eight runs and seven hits in 1 2-3 innings.

Mitch Talbot improved his chances of making the Indians' rotation with 3 1-3 scoreless innings. The right-hander has allowed just one run in 11 1-3 innings this spring.
