GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) Joey Votto had four hits, Brandon Phillips homered and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 at spring training on Wednesday.

Votto scored twice and drove in two runs. The slugger has hit safely in 13 of his 19 appearances and reached safely in 17 games.

Votto was aboard for Phillips' second spring homer in the third against Jose Quintana. Phillips also doubled in the first and singled in the sixth.

Quintana was charged with four runs and nine hits in three-plus innings. He struck out three and walked three.

Reds minor leaguer Josh Smith pitched five innings of one-run ball in his first Cactus League start. The right-hander struck out six and walked one.

Smith retired his first 10 batters before Tyler Saladino hit his fifth home run.
