Wei-Yin Chen made his first start since undergoing surgery in October to remove bone spurs in his right knee.
"It does feel somewhat different, but I don't know how to describe different how," Chen said through his interpreter.
"Compared to last year, I do feel a little more comfortable when I was pitching, so I was happy about the result and tried to make my pitches and not to think about that. I just feel comfortable right now."
Chen allowed two runs and five hits in the second inning. He gave up an infield hit and three bouncers that found space in the infield.
"It's still early in the spring, so I tried to make some adjustments," he said. "Sometimes pitches weren't ideal location-wise, but I made adjustments and overall I feel pretty good. And it's still spring training, so I don't mind it.
"It's been a while since I've played in a game, especially in a night game, so I tried to make some adjustments. And I feel pretty good overall."
