Record - 8-7-1
One Sentence Summary: While wearing their green uniforms for St. Patrick's Day, the Phillies fell to the Rays, 5-3.

What Happened: Buchanan pitched four innings, allowing a run on two hits. The Phillies managed five hits, two of which came from Odubel Herrera.
Featured Card: Thanks to his performance from last season, Buchanan earned a card in series one of this year's Topps flagship set.
