KISSIMMEE, Florida (Ticker) -- Vinny Castilla homered and Jason Marquis scattered three hits over five innings as the Atlanta Braves blanked the Cleveland Indians, 6-0, in Grapefruit League action.

Gary Sheffield went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Chipper Jones had a two-run single for Atlanta. Keith Lockhart and Rafael Furcal each added two hits.
