One Sentence Summary: The Phillies split their squad, donned green hats for St. Patrick's Day, and won both games against the Blue Jays.
What It Means: The Phillies will be playing meaningful baseball in less than two weeks, as the spring schedule has 11 games remaining over the next 11 days.
What Happened: In Clearwater, Rhys Hoskins hit a first inning home run on his 30th birthday and doubled later in the game. Minor leaguer Gabriel Rincones, Jr. hit a two-run home run for the Phillies in the sixth. Bailey Falter, likely the team's fifth starter, went five innings, allowing a run on three hits.

In Dunedin, Jake Cave and Kody Clemens led the offense, with both players fighting for the same bench job. Cave was 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs, including an RBI double in the first and a two-run single in the fourth. Clemens was 2 for 4 with a solo home run in the fourth and an RBI-single in the fifth. Matt Strahm drew the start for the Phillies, and looked great in two shutout innings, allowing a hit and striking out four.
Featured Card: I'm fine with any excuse to post a Tug McGraw card, and I'll feature him here as it was McGraw who pushed the Phillies to wear green jerseys and hats for St. Patrick's Day beginning in the early 1980s. There were only green hats yesterday, which was a little jarring given the bright red jersey pairing.
Camp Head Count: 55
