CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Even without the help of the awesome foursome of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt, the Philadelphia Phillies’ were dominant on the mound.
Seven pitchers combined on a four-hitter and Ryan Howard had a two-run double, leading the Phillies to an 8-0 win over Florida State University on Thursday.
Right-handed starter Drew Naylor, an Australian native, allowed one hit and struck out two in two shutout innings.
Howard did his damage on his first swing of spring training with one out in the first inning. The Phillies scored two more runs in the first on a RBI single by catcher Carlos Ruiz and a sacrifice fly from Pete Orr.
