Grapefruit Game 12 - 2017 Donruss Optic #126 Freddy Galvis

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.
