Tigers (ss) 5, Phillies 3

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- Jamie Moyer was so efficient he completed his outing before reaching his pitch count.

The Philadelphia Phillies' left-hander was scheduled to throw 70-75 pitches, but needed just 59 to cruise through five shutout innings against a Detroit Tigers split squad Sunday. The Tigers rallied in the late innings to win 5-3, but Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was pleased with Moyer's performance.

"He had them off balance and had good command," Manuel said. "He amazes me, but at the same time he has more patience out there than the hitter. He changes speeds and knows what he's doing. He's been doing that for years and years."

The Phillies turned double plays in each of the first two innings, and Moyer retired the final nine batters he faced and didn't let a Tigers runner get to third base.

After Moyer left, Detroit rallied for four runs in the seventh inning against left-hander Fabio Castro. Marcus Thames hit a two-run homer and pinch-hitter Chris Maples delivered a two-run double to put the Tigers ahead. Brent Dlugach added an insurance run in the ninth with his first home run of the spring, and third hit of the game, off Philadelphia reliever Justin Germano.

Phillies second baseman Chase Utley hit his first home run this spring, a solo shot in the bottom of the first off Tigers starter Chad Durbin. It was the only run the right-hander allowed in three innings.

Reliever Jair Jurrjens got the win, pitching scoreless ball in the sixth and seventh. Felix Heredia got the save by striking out Michael Bourn with two on and two outs in the ninth.

Shane Victorino and Wes Helms each had two hits for the Phillies, who lost for the fourth time in five games.
