Spring Training Game 1 - Friday Afternoon, March 18th in Lakeland
Record - 0-0-1
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies received home runs from Darick Hall and Matt Kroon as they played to a tie against the Tigers in Lakeland.
What It Means: After another long offseason, which included a 99-day lock-out by the owners, baseball is back! Spring training games this year will be played over only three weeks, and the start of the regular season will be pushed back a week as a residual effect of the lock-out. I'm thrilled to be able to compose these daily game summary posts for another year.
What Happened: None of the team's veterans made the trip for this game, which featured quite a few prospects and non-roster invitees. Michael Kelly received the start for the Phillies and he pitched two scoreless innings. The offense had 12 hits, including a pair from Justin Williams.
Featured Card: I'd love to see Hall got a shot with the Phillies at some point. He's collected 98 minor league home runs with the organization since his professional debut back in 2016.
