Five Atlanta pitchers scattered four hits and designated hitter Marcell Ozuna provided power with a two-run home run as the host Braves shut out the Philadelphia Phillies 7-0 on Thursday in spring training action in North Port, Fla.
Raisel Iglesias (1-0) earned the win with a perfect fourth inning, then Zach Thompson allowed two hits while fanning three in the final five innings to collect his first save of the spring. Starter Hector Neris, Daysbel Hernandez (four strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings) and Aaron Bummer combined to work the first three innings.
Ozuna knocked his third homer of the spring with the fifth-inning shot, and teammate Chadwick Tromp drove in three runs on a groundout in the fourth and a single in the fifth. Michael Harris II was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run as the Braves totaled 11 hits.
Phillies starter Nabil Crismatt (1-1) took the loss after yielding one run and three hits in three innings. Cal Stevenson and Johan Rojas hit doubles.
Blue Jays 4, Rays 1
New acquisition Anthony Santander went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBIs and one run as host Toronto downed Tampa Bay in Dunedin, Fla.
Santander, an All-Star outfielder last season for the Baltimore Orioles, signed with the Blue Jays for five years for a contract reported to be worth more than $90 million. He hit an RBI single in the first and a two-run double in the fifth.
Toronto starter Bowden Francis (1-1) allowed one run, three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings for the win. Tampa Bay starter Taj Bradley (0-1) was roughed up for four runs (three earned), nine hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. Jonathan Aranda homered for the Rays' run.
Astros 11, Marlins 0
Eight Houston pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts and just three walks and five hits in shutting out host Miami in Jupiter, Fla.
Zach Dezenzo was 3-for-4 with an RBI double, Jake Meyers hit a 409-foot two-run homer and Zack Short slammed a 430-foot two-run blast and an RBI double for the Astros. Josh Hader (1-0) went 1 1/3 innings in earning the victory.
Marlins starter Janson Junk (0-1) yielded one run, one hit and two walks with three strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings in taking the loss. Griffin Conine and Jack Winkler doubled among Miami's five hits.
