FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Cole Hamels pitched one-hit ball over four innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Thursday in a spring-training matchup of teams favored to reach the World Series.
Hamels, the winner, struck out three and walked one, throwing 29 of 50 pitches for strikes.
Loser Stolmy Pimentel, starting because Josh Beckett was hit on the head while shagging flies during batting practice Monday, gave up two runs, three hits, a walk and a balk in two innings.
Reliever Bobby Jenks, in his first season with the Red Sox, made his spring training debut. He gave up a leadoff double to Shane Victorino in the fifth.
