CLEARWATER, Fla. - Pat Burrell homered and Marlon Byrd doubled home the winning run in the ninth inning to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

Brandon Duckworth, Philadelphia's No. 5 starter, left with an inflamed elbow and forearm.

Duckworth felt tightness in his right arm while pitching a scoreless first inning, then came out after throwing three warmup tosses before the second.

"You have to be cautious when your arm tightens up on you," said Duckworth, who has pitched seven scoreless innings in three outings this spring. "You have to think of tomorrow rather than be a hero and go on."

The Phillies said it could take 48 hours to know the severity of Duckworth's injury. If it is serious, Joe Roa or Hector Mercado are the top candidates to fill the spot.

"Anytime a pitcher grabs his arm you're concerned, especially the way this kid's been pitching," Phillies manager Larry Bowa said. "Brandon's been having a great spring. Hopefully, nothing is wrong. We'll have to wait and see."

Phillies reliever Turk Wendell, who missed the entire 2002 season with an elbow injury that required surgery, made his spring debut by pitching a scoreless sixth inning. He allowed only a one-out double to Jose Guillen.

"I think this was the final hurdle I had to cross to be a normal player again," said Wendell, who has appeared in 484 major league games since 1993.

The Reds built a 2-0 lead on solo homers in the third inning by Felipe Lopez and in the fourth by Wilton Guerrero. The Phillies cut the lead in half in the sixth when Burrell doubled in a run, and the game remained 2-1 until the ninth.

With Reds right-hander Ricardo Aramboles on the mound, Burrell hit a leadoff homer to left to tie the game, his second of the spring.

Chase Utley followed with a single, then scored from first on a one-out double to left by Byrd.

Jose Mesa pitched a perfect ninth for the win.

Chris Reitsma, a candidate for the Reds' starting rotation, pitched four scoreless innings in his best outing of the spring. The right-hander allowed one hit, struck out three and walked one.

"I needed this one," Reitsma said. "Finally my body and arm were in sync."

Phillies catcher Mike Lieberthal, sidelined since March 1 with an abdominal strain, might return to action Thursday.

THE ARMS: Reliever Ricardo Aramboles, who had not allowed a run in three innings entering Sunday, got the loss when the Phillies scored two runs - one earned - in the ninth inning.

Gabe White, who came in after starter Chris Reitsma, allowed the only other run during his two innings.

Reitsma pitched four innings and struck out three.

Brian Reith allowed two hits and struck out one in two scoreless innings.

THE BATS: Reds infielder Wilton Guerrero hit a solo homer to left-center field in the fourth inning - his first RBI this spring - and doubled in the seventh.

Felipe Lopez's solo homer in the third inning extended his hitting streak to four games.

Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell led off the ninth inning with a solo homer to left field and center fielder Marlon Byrd won the game with a walk-off double.

THE REST: Phillies starter Brandon Duckworth was pulled before the start of the second inning with inflammation in his right elbow. Hector Mercado took over and allowed two runs in four innings.

The Reds are 6-2-1 over their past nine spring games.

Lopez and Wily Mo Pena both committed their third errors of the spring Sunday.

UP NEXT: The Reds play a split-squad game against the Orioles at 1:05 p.m. at Ed Smith Stadium and against the Red Sox at 1:05 p.m. in Fort Myers.

Jimmy Haynes is scheduled to start against Baltimore and be followed by Dustin Moseley, Bobby Basham, Kent Mercker and Josh Hall.

Jose Acevedo will start against Boston.
