SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Zack Greinke pitched two scoreless innings in his Arizona Diamondbacks' spring training debut, a 6-3 victory over an Oakland Athletics' split squad on Friday.

The Diamondbacks' new ace, signed to a $206.5 million, six-year contract, gave up one hit and struck out two. He threw 25 pitches, 16 of them strikes.

One of the outs Greinke got came when first baseman Paul Goldschmidt made a diving stop of Chris Coghlan's sharp grounder and flipped the ball to the pitcher covering the bag for the final out of the first inning.

Greinke struck out Sam Fuld swinging in the first and got Andrew Lambo looking to end the second.
