HAINES CITY, Fla. (AP) _ Chris Pritchett, a non-roster first baseman, singled three times and hit his second home run of the exhibition season Saturday as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Kansas City Royals 9-3.

Pritchett, who hit .156 in 20 games last year with Anaheim, hit an RBI single off Derek Wallace for a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth. Wallace took the loss.

Rookie Carlos Duncan's grand slam off reliever Tim Byrdak highlighted the Phillies' five-run ninth inning.

Brian Looney earned the win for the Phillies with a no-hit seventh inning, walking one and striking out two. Bryan Ward picked up the save with four strikeouts in the eighth and ninth innings.

Carlos Beltran and Jermaine Dye each singled twice for the Royals.

Rookie right-hander Chad Durbin started and pitched two scoreless innings for the Royals. He gave up one single and struck out three.
