Tony Watson turned in strong outing for the Pirates in making his first start of the spring.
The lefty was perfect against the Tampa Bay Rays in his two innings of work striking out two and not allowing a base runner.
He was followed by Jason Grilli, who gave up only one hit and walked one in two innings. The only run of the game came on fourth inning homer by Casey McGehee off Rays starter Matt Moore.
