Spring Training Game 17 - Tuesday Afternoon, March 15th in Clearwater
Record - 11-4-2
One Sentence Summary: Key hits from Andres Blanco and Darnell Sweeney helped the Phillies come from behind with four runs in the eighth inning to win their 11th game of the spring.
What It Means: Let's start the season!
What Happened: Cesar Hernandez had two more hits in this game and Cedric Hunter hit his second home run. Aaron Nola gave up two runs on six hits in his 4 2/3 innings of work. He also struck out five.
Featured Card: Nola enjoyed his best outing of the spring. Coincidentally, if he continues to pitch every fifth day, he's on track to start opening day on April 4th against the Reds. This card marks Nola's first appearance in a Topps flagship set.
Camp Head Count: 57 - 2 = 55 - Two potential starting rotation candidates were sent packing on Tuesday morning as Alec Asher and David Buchanan were both optioned to the IronPigs. The fifth spot in the starting pitching rotation is going to go to Adam Morgan, Brett Oberholtzer or Vince Velasquez.
