Left-hander Chris Short, side lined virtually all last year by a back injury, gave Lucchesi a rousing sendoff as Philadelphia’s new manager Tuesday by pitching the Phillies to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Right-hander Gary Nolan kept Anderson, Cincinnati’s new skip per, in orbit by following south paw Jim Merritt’s three-hit opening day triumph over Mon treal with a two-hit 4-0 conquest of Los Angeles.
