Grapefruit Game 10 - 2018 Topps Walmart Holiday Snowflake #HMW90 Jake Arrieta

Phillies 3, Twins 3
Spring Training Game 10 - Sunday Afternoon, March 3rd in Fort Myers
Record - 6-2-2

One Sentence Summary:  Jake Arrieta impressed in his spring debut as the Phillies and Twins played to a stalemate.

What It Means:  Arrieta's return to form will be key for the 2019 Phillies, and hopefully this impressive first outing is a sign of things to come.

What Happened:  Arrieta pitched three crisp shutout innings, allowing no hits or walks and striking out four.  Shane Robinson had a pair of hits and Andrew Romine hit a two-run home run (1) in the third.

Featured Card:  It's snowing again in New Jersey as I write this, so here's an appropriately themed card of Arrieta from the appropriately named Walmart Holiday Snowflake set.

Camp Head Count:  62.  Bryce Harper is set to make his Phillies debut next Saturday.
