Blue Jays 9, Phillies 7
Spring Training Game 12 - Wednesday Afternoon, March 6th in Dunedin
Record - 7-3-2
One Sentence Summary: Vince Velasquez labored in his first spring start and the Blue Jays scored early and often in this 9-7 loss.
What It Means: Velasquez needs to rebound this year and the key to his success is going to be attacking hitters early. He faced six batters in this game, allowing a hit and two walks while striking out two.
What Happened: Seth McGarry (4 runs, 1/3 inning), Ranger Suarez (2 runs, 2 innings) and Austin Davis (2 runs, 1 inning) appear to still be working out the kinks. Deivy Grullon hit a 3-run double in the sixth and Trevor Plouffe homered off former Phillie Mark Leiter, Jr. in the ninth.
In a simulated game in Clearwater, Bryce Harper hit a bomb of a home run off pitcher Jerad Eickhoff.
Featured Card: Phillies Room Favorite Freddy Galvis joined the Blue Jays this past offseason, and he had an RBI single in this game.
Camp Head Count: 62. Gabe Kapler's first roster cuts came last year following Game 12 on March 5th. I'm predicting the first round of roster moves comes later today.
