Spring Training Game 18 - Monday Afternoon, March 9th in Clearwater
Record - 12-5-1
One Sentence Summary: An eighth inning home run from Christian Bethancourt broke a 1-1 tie and sent the Phillies to a 3-1 win over the Yankees.
What It Means: Aaron Nola was supposed to start this game, but he was a late scratch as the presumed opening day starter has the flu.
What Happened: Ramon Rosso got the emergency start and allowed a run on two hits in his two innings of work. Six relievers shut down the Yankees after that, with Mauricio Llovera throwing two scoreless innings. Bryce Harper had three more hits and Mikie Mahtook hit a third inning solo home run.
Featured Card: Rosso has emerged as a potential bullpen candidate, and he certainly didn't hurt his chances with his outing on Monday.
Camp Head Count: 64 - 3 = 61. Prior to the game, the Phillies optioned catcher Deivy Grullon to Lehigh Valley and infielder Arquimedes Gamboa to Reading, while re-assigning Austin Listi to minor league camp. The Grullon move seems to indicate Andrew Knapp will once again open the season as the back-up to J.T. Realmuto.
