The Cleveland Indians took the field in Goodyear, Arizona vs the Cincinnati Reds in the Cactus League Opener on Tuesday afternoon. The two teams share the facility and Cleveland was the home team in the opener, losing 6-5. Although there is only so much to take away from Spring Training games, here are five notes from the Cactus League Opener:1. The Battle for #5 Spot Is OnJosh Tomlin took the mound to start the Cactus League Opener. Tomlin is one of the favorites to earn the fifth spot in the rotation <a href="

Tomlin allowed one earned run on three hits while i suing one walk. Right after Tomlin, left-hander T.J. House entered the game. <a href="

House did not fair much better than Tomlin, going two innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits. He struck out one batter and walked one as well. This early in camp, nothing significant can be taken from the two rocky starts, but both pitchers will look to improve throughout March to earn a spot in what looks to be a great rotation.Cody Anderson gets the start on Wednesday and he is another candidate for the fifth spot. Anderson pitched lights out at times last season, bursting onto the scene with a 7-3 record and a 3.05 ERA.2. Carlos Santana Goes Deep The Cleveland Indians' home run leader from 2015 <a href="

Especially if he continues to hit bombs. He went 1-2 on the day.Scroll to Continue3. Tyler Naquin a Candidate for Outfield? Naquin, the Tribe's first-round draft pick from 2012, has the chance to make a big impre sion this Spring, especially in light of the injury to Michael Brantley and the suspension of Abraham Almonte. <a href="
https://www.sdpadresfanpride.com/san-diego-padres-jersey/austin-allen-jersey">Austin Allen Jersey</a> Cleveland's outfield situation was already precarious before the suspension, but now there may be room for Naquin to make the team if he impre ses the coaching staff and front office. He made sure to do that in the Cactus League opener, going 1-2 with a triple.4. Eric Stamets Shows Promise Last summer, the Tribe traded David Murphy for a young middle infielder named Eric Stamets. He had a quiet 2015 in Akron, but came out ready to play in the Cactus League Opener, hitting a solo home run. Stamets is 24 years old, bats right-handed and is a native of Dublin, Ohio. Tribe fans may want to keep an eye on Stamets this Spring, and remember the name, as it would likely be at least a year or two down the road until they see him in Cleveland. 5. The Regulars A few guys who Tribe fans should expect to be playing just about every day this season got the start in Goodyear on Tuesday. Catcher Yan Gomes singled in his only plate appearance.Rajai Davis <a href="
