SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (AP) -- Cleveland pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez nailed former teammate Troy Tulowitzki in the elbow, carrying their feud onto the field and causing the Indians and Colorado to clear the benches in the Indians' 12-10 win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Tulowitzki left the exhibition game after being hit in the left elbow by Jimenez's first pitch. Tulowitzki was taken to a hospital for precautionary X-rays on his elbow, which were negative.
Jimenez sprang off the mound after hitting Tulowitzki in the first inning, motioning toward him. The benches emptied, but there were no ejections.
Jimenez gave up six runs on four hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings.
Travis Hafner and Shelley Duncan hit grand slams as Cleveland ended a 10-game losing streak.
