Spring Training Game 13 - Wednesday Night, March 4th in Tampa
Record - 8-4-1

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies again split their squad and again came away with a win and a loss in this rare day-night spring training double header.

What It Means:  I'm ready for the season to start.

What Happened:  In Clearwater, J.T. Realmuto led off and went 3 for 3 with a solo home run while Bryce Harper hit two home runs, including an absolute bomb in the fourth inning that may have hit the highway outside the ballpark.  Harper's blast came off Pirates reliever, and former Phillie, Yacksel Rios.  Aaron Nola went four innings and gave up a pair of runs.

In Tampa, the Phillies had only six hits including a two-run home run from Jay Bruce.  Nick Pivetta gave up three runs in 3 1/3 innings.

Featured Card:  Realmuto earned the catcher's spot on the All-MLB 1st Team All-Stars this past offseason, and he's poised for yet another season as the best catcher in the game.

Camp Head Count:  70
