Happ, Aumont pitch well for Phillies

CLEARWATER, Fla. — J.A. Happ and Phillippe Aumont combined for five scoreless innings in the Philadelphia Phillies’ 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

Happ allowed two hits, walked two and struck out two in 2 1-3 innings. Aumont replaced him in the third and gave up two hits in 2 2-3 innings, bouncing back from a rough outing in an exhibition game against Florida State on Wednesday night.

Top prospect Desmond Jennings singled and scored the go-ahead run in the 10th for Tampa Bay. Former No. 1 overall pick Tim Beckham added an RBI single for an insurance run.

Jimmy Rollins homered in the fifth for Philadelphia, and Kelly Shoppach had a two-run drive for Tampa Bay.
