Making his first appearance in game action in nearly a year, Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito only made it through one inning before experiencing another injury setback.

Giolito was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies early due to left hamstring tightness, the club announced. The right-hander had struggled with his command out of the gate, throwing just 10 of his 24 pitches for strikes, and then did not return for a planned second inning.

Pitching in his first game since undergoing internal brace surgery in his right elbow, Giolito was clearly rusty. The 30-year-old walked Bryson Stott, allowed a double to Johan Rojas and then walked Brandon Marsh to load the bases with nobody out. He recovered by drawing back-to-back sacrifice flies and then escaped without further incident by striking out Rafael Marchan to end the threat.

The right-hander ultimately tossed just the one inning, allowing two runs on two walks and one hit. His fastball sat at 93 mph and he also worked on his changeup, cutter, slider and curveball.

Adam Ottavino came on in relief of Giolito in the second inning and endured his worst outing of the spring. The 39-year-old was charged with six runs on three hits, three walks and two wild pitches while recording just one out. The Phillies also stole four bases against him and catcher Connor Wong, and after coming out for minor league reliever Cooper Adams, Philadelphia delivered the haymaker when Buddy Kennedy cleared the bases with a towering two-run home run over the left field wall, putting the Phillies ahead 9-0 in the top of the second.
