PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- The Phillies rallied to score a pair of runs in the ninth to erase a two-run deficit and tie the Rays, 5-5, Wednesday afternoon at Charlotte Sports Park.
Trailing 5-3, Roman Quinn drew a leadoff walk from Jacob Faria to start the Phillies' ninth. One out later, Jesmuel Valentin doubled to right. Quinn scored when Cameron Perkins grounded out to second. Hector Gomez's RBI double scored Valentin to tie the game at 5.
"We're not exactly tearing the cover off the ball," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. "Nevertheless, we tied. I'll take a tie in Spring Training. Especially that way."
The Rays were retired in the ninth, and extra innings were not played.
Jesus Sucre's two-run homer in the sixth gave the Rays a one-run lead, and Jonah Heim added an RBI double in the eighth.
Jake Odorizzi made his first start of the spring, and the Rays right-hander cruised through two perfect innings while striking out one. Of the 19 pitches Odorizzi threw, 14 were for strikes.
"I thought it was good for the first time," Odorizzi said. "I threw strikes, got some quick outs on three pitches or less, so it was a good work day and a good first outing of spring."

Vince Velasquez, who will be the Phillies' No. 4 starter, also made his first start of the spring, holding the Rays to no runs on one hit while striking out one in two innings.
Aaron Altherr's bases-loaded triple off Matt Andriese in the fourth gave the Phillies a 3-1 lead.

Patrick Leonard had two doubles for the Rays, and both paid dividends. The first came against Adam Morgan, when he led off the third and later scored when Timothy Beckham grounded to second. He doubled again with two outs in the fifth off Alec Asher, then scored on Steven Souza Jr.'s single to center to cut the Phillies' lead to 3-2.
