Myers continues to struggle on the mound for the Phillies



PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- More than just the rain put a damper on the second game at Citizens Bank Park. Brett Myers' struggles continued, giving Philadelphia one concern heading into the opener.
Myers had another poor performance in the Phillies' 3-1 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Sunday in the exhibition finale for both teams.
Myers came in after three scoreless innings by starter Eric Milton, and surrendered all three runs in the fourth inning. He failed to get an out and allowed a two-run homer to Travis Hafner.
"He really didn't get anything accomplished," manager Larry Bowa said. "He was all over the place. I hope his next start is better than his last couple of outings."
Previously
In his previous performance against Toronto, Myers lasted just 22/3 innings, allowing seven runs and nine hits. In the start before that, he allowed six runs and eight hits in six innings against Boston.
"I couldn't throw a strike. I pretty much stunk," Myers said. "I felt fine physically. I just couldn't find the zone at all."
The Indians got another strong performance from Jason Stanford, who was named their No. 5 starter this spring, beating out Chad Durbin for the final spot and rounding out a rotation that will include three left-handers. Stanford allowed one run in six innings.
