| 2008 Topps Update World Baseball Classic #WBC5 |
Spring Training Game 12 - Tuesday Afternoon, March 7th in Clearwater
Record - 5-6-1
One Sentence Summary: The Rays handled the Phillies fairly easily, winning 7-3 in this mid-spring exhibition game as players started departing for the World Baseball Classic.
What It Means: The World Baseball Classic, now somehow in its fifth iteration and the first since 2017, kicks off on Tuesday night and will be played through March 21st. I like the concept of the tournament, and I'll likely watch some of it, but as has been the case in years' past, I'm not too worked up about it.
What Happened: Bailey Falter, who will likely begin the season as the team's fifth starter, pitched 2 1/3 innings, allowing one earned run on three hits, while striking out three. Griff McGarry rebounded nicely from his previous outing and threw a scoreless inning. There wasn't a lot of Phillies offense. Weston Wilson scored in the seventh as a result of a fielding error. Wilson would single home Jhailyn Ortiz in the eighth, and Jim Haley would double home Scott Kingery for the team's third and final run.
Featured Card: I'm sure there have been others, but the only World Baseball Classic baseball card in my Phillies collection is this Chase Utley card from the 2008 Topps Update set.
Camp Head Count: 65
