Spring Training Game 18 - Stay on Target

Spring Training Game 18 - Monday Afternoon, April 4th in Tampa
Record - 8-7-3

One Sentence Summary:  Kyle Gibson looked decent in his final spring tune-up and Seranthony Dominguez surrendered a three-run home run to Aaron Judge in this 5-2 loss.

What It Means:  There are just two more spring training games remaining, and the game on Tuesday afternoon against the Pirates will be the Clearwater finale.

What Happened:  Gibson threw 72 pitched in 5 2/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on nine hits.  Dominguez, coming back from Tommy John surgery, had struggled at times this spring but it's great to see him at least on the mound at this point.  Mickey Moniak and Ronald Torreyes each had multi-hit games for the Phillies.

Featured Card:  Dillon Maples, reassigned to minor league camp following the game, seems like a pitcher we'll see wearing red pinstripes at some point this season.  He was roughed up a bit this spring, owning a 16.88 ERA in 2 2/3 innings pitched.  Maples pitched in parts of five seasons with the Cubs, beginning in 2017, and has a lifetime record of 3-0 with a 5.10 ERA in 59 relief appearances.

Camp Head Count:  38 - 3 = 35

Following the game, the Phillies reassigned Maples (rhp), Yairo Munoz (inf) and Ronald Torreyes (inf) to minor league camp.  The last three non-roster invitees in camp are Andrew Bellatti (rhp), Michael Kelly (rhp) and Bryson Stott (inf).
