Cole Hamels Tosses 5 Scoreless Innings Against Blue Jays

DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) — Cole Hamels allowed two hits in five scoreless innings during the Philadelphia Phillies' 4-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

A focus of trade speculation, Hamels didn't allow a hit until Kevin Pillar reached on an infield single leading off the fifth. Hamels picked off Pillar, Dalton Pompey tripled to left-center field and Hamels struck out Jose Reyes.

Hamels, a four-time All-Star, struck out four and walked three.

Steve Tolleson hit a grand slam off Ken Giles in the eighth.

Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez gave up one run, two hits and one walk in 5 1-3 innings.

Edwin Encarnacion returned to Toronto's lineup at designated hitter after missing 16 games with back inflammation. He walked twice and reached on a fielder's choice.
