Charlie Morton allowed one hit in five innings, Pedro Alvarez hit a two-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 Wednesday in the final exhibition game for both teams.
Morton, the Pirates' No. 4 starter, allowed just a single to Jimmy Rollins. The Phillies' only other hit came against Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan.
Alvarez connected off Cole Hamels for his second home run this spring. The Phillies' lefty gave up four hits in three innings.
