Split-squad Phils beat Bluejays
DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) - March 5, 2008 Myers allowed three hits, struck out one and threw 31 of his 43
pitches for strikes.
"I'm on schedule and my command is fine, but not midseason
form," said Myers, who already has been selected to start on
opening day.
Toronto ace Roy Halladay also pitched well, striking out two and
allowing one hit in three scoreless innings.
"He looked great today," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
"He even mixed in a few curveballs. He was pounding the strike
zone and using his infielders."
Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz had two-run doubles in the fifth for
the Phillies. Valentino Pascucci hit a solo homer off Toronto's
Tracy Thorpe in the eighth.
Shannon Stewart doubled and scored on Travis Snider's single in
the ninth for the Blue Jays.
Notes: Bench coach Jimy Williams managed the Phillies split-squad.
... 2B Aaron Hill had two hits for Toronto.
