| 2024 Choice Reading Fightin Phils (2nd Edition) #5 |
Saturday Afternoon, March 22nd
George M. Steinbrenner Field - Tampa, FL
Record - 13-13-2
One Sentence Summary: Trailing 7-0 in the top of the ninth inning, the Phillies sent 12 batters to the plate in this impressive come from behind victory over the Yankees.
What It Means: Both teams had mostly prospects playing at the end of the game, but this was still an exciting win.
What Happened: Down to their final at-bat, and getting shutout through eight innings by five Yankees pitchers, the Phillies plated eight runs on seven hits and one very big, three-run home run from Robert Moore. Singles from Avery Owusu-Asiedu, Kody Clemens and Josh Breaux loaded the bases and Elio Prado walked to drive home the first run. A Luis Verdugo double brought home two more runs and Felix Reyes reached on an error by third baseman Jorbit Vivas, scoring the fourth run of the inning. Marcus Lee Sang made it a 7-5 game with an RBI double. Moore then launched a home run to right, scoring Reyes and Sang and giving the Phillies an 8-7 lead. I enjoyed listening to Scott Franzke call this inning on the radio.
Featured Card: Moore came to the Phillies last year after spending two seasons in the Brewers' system. He appeared in all three Reading team sets in 2024.

Camp Head Count: 37 - 6 = 31
As we inch closer to opening day, the Phillies continue to whittle down their line-up, with five more roster moves still needed to get down to 26. Before this game, Cal Stevenson (of) and Kyle Tyler (rhp) were optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Christian Arroyo (inf), Josh Breaux (c), Nabil Crismatt (rhp) and Oscar Mercado (of) were all reassigned to minor league camp. The final bench spot will go to either Kody Clemens or Buddy Kennedy. Weston Wilson will start the season on the Injured List, and Tyler Phillips and Michael Mercado are likely only sticking around in case Matt Strahm and Ranger Suarez also start the season on the shelf.
