Kazmir happy with arm strength

Scott Kazmir made his final start of the spring Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing one run on five hits and two walks in three innings, with four strikeouts and a wild pitch. After being hindered by a sore shoulder for much of the second half of 2006, Kazmir was happy with how strong his arm felt this spring. Hopefully, that will translate into better results once the regular season begins, as the Devil Rays ace allowed eight walks and 20 hits over 16 2/3 innings, wrapping up Spring Training with a 6.48 ERA.
