Willis pitches two perfect innings as Reds win
BOX SCORE
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) -- Dontrelle Willis pitched two perfect innings in relief to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Friday.
Kris Negron singled, stole a base, scored and hit a sacrifice fly for the Reds, who won their third straight spring training game. The Mariners have lost three straight.
Cincinnati scored twice off Mariners starter Doug Fister in the second inning. Ramon Hernandez led off with a double down the left-field line and scored on single by Fred Lewis, who took second on the throw home. He advanced on a groundout and scored on Negron's sacrifice fly.
Fister struggled again in his second spring start. The right-hander, who was 6-14 last season, has allowed four earned runs on eight hits in 5 total innings.
Ichiro Suzuki drove in a run with a sacrifice fly for Seattle. Right-hander Chad Reineke, the Reds' starter, allowed a run on three hits in three innings.
