CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) _ Jimmy Anderson, in a battle for the final spot in the Pirates' starting rotation, pitched three hitless innings in his first spring start to lead Pittsburgh over the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 Sunday.

Pete Rose Jr., a non-roster player in Phillies camp trying to impress, had an RBI grounder in the seventh following Rob Ducey's leadoff triple.

Aramis Ramirez drove in three of Pittsburgh's five runs with two doubles.

Anderson, a 24-year-old rookie left-hander, retired nine of the 10 batters, hitting Ducey with a pitch with two outs in the first.

Right-hander Jason Schmidt, the Pirates' scheduled starter, was scratched because of back discomfort.

Robert Person allowed four runs and four hits in 2 2-3 innings.

Pittsburgh took a 2-0 lead in the first on back-to-back two-out doubles by John Vander Wal and Ramirez. Ramirez hit a two-run, two-out double in the third.

After Pittsburgh scored a run off Scott Aldred in the ninth, Andy Dominique and Gene Schall hit RBI singles in the bottom half. With the tying run on and two outs, rookie left-hander Clint Johnston struck out Carlos Duncan.
