SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Michael Morse hit two home runs, while Johnny Cueto made a brief but productive first spring start as the Giants rallied late for a 9-7 win over the Reds on Saturday in split-squad action.
Morse clubbed a solo homer that narrowly evaded Billy Hamilton's glove at the left-center-field fence in the second inning. He then blasted a ball that easily cleared the nearly 60-foot batter's eye that stands 430 feet from home plate in the fourth.
"It felt good. It felt really good," said Morse, who has said he will retire if he doesn't make the team out of Spring Training as a non-roster invitee. "I hit it hard. It was only a matter of time before I started connecting. I feel like my swing is pretty good. I like where it's at."
Both homers came against Reds starter Scott Feldman.
"That one that Morse hit, I don't think you could hit a ball any harder than that," Feldman said of Morse's second blast. "It almost took my head off and still went over the batter's eye in center field."

Cueto got a delayed start to Spring Training after tending to his ailing father in the Dominican Republic, but he settled in over his two innings against the Reds. Cueto allowed a run on three hits in the first and then set down the Reds in order in the second.
"I felt awkward to start," Cueto said through a translator. "The second inning, I felt more comfortable and confident in my pitches."

Adam Duvall had an RBI double against Cueto and a two-run homer that capped a four-run inning for the Reds against Player Page for Matt Cain, who has yet to produce a scoreless outing this spring.
Feldman pitched 3 1/3 innings with four earned runs, six hits, three strikeouts and three home runs. The homers he allowed all came on breaking balls.

"My shoulder feels good, my arm feels good. Now it's about executing pitches," Feldman said. "Obviously, three home runs today -- those usually happen when you don't execute your pitches, especially out here in Arizona. I've got to get that stuff tightened up and out of the way now and work on some things in the bullpen, work on not hanging some breaking balls and kind of finishing that pitch a little better."
