Grapefruit Game 15 - 2019 Choice Medusas de Lakewood #8 Abrahan Gutierrez

Phillies 9, Tigers 0
Spring Training Game 15 - Friday Afternoon, March 6th in Lakeland
Record - 0-0

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies scored seven times in the final three innings in this lopsided 9-0 victory over the Tigers.

What It Means:  I keep thinking I've missed the announcement of any roster moves, but the camp head count still stands at 70.  The Phillies made their first cuts of the spring last year following their 16th game.  So perhaps there's a round of transactions coming after Saturday's matinee.

What Happened:  The pitching staff, led by Jake Arrieta, held the Tigers to two hits.  Arrieta pitched four shutout innings, but he did walk four so all was not perfect.  Nick Martini went 2 for 2 with 3 RBIs, including a solo home run as he bids to make the team as a bench player.

Featured Card:  Catcher Abrahan Gutierrez, one of the daily minor league additions, hit an eighth inning grand slam scoring Arquimedes Gamboa, Mickey Moniak and Austin Listi.

Camp Head Count:  70
