Toronto 5, Philadelphia 5 (9 inn.)

DUNEDIN, Fla., March 20 (UPI) -- Philadelphia starter Terry Adams threw five strong innings, but Chris Latham homered in the ninth inning Wednesday to rally the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-5 tie with the Phillies.

Adams eased concerns over his readiness for Opening Day by allowing a run and four hits in five innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out two.

After Cliff Politte and Jose Santiago tossed a scoreless inning apiece, Pete Schourek was hammered for three runs and Ricky Bottalico surrendered the game-tying home run to Latham.

Toronto starter Scott Eyre gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings.

Latham, Shannon Stewart and Homer Bush had two hits apiece for Toronto.
