Spring Training Game 3 - Monday Afternoon, February 26th in Fort Myers
Record - 2-1
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies collected three home runs, but a group of young arms allowed four unanswered, late runs to the Red Sox in this 7-6 loss.
What It Means: It's still odd in the year 2024 there are Phillies spring training games that are neither televised or broadcast over the radio. This was one of those games, and I attempted to follow along with MLB Gameday, but would have preferred having the game on in the background on TV.
What Happened: Whit Merrifield, Darick Hall and Aramis Garcia all homered for the Phillies. Dave Buchanan, making his return to the club, got the start and allowed a pair of runs on four hits and a walk over two innings. All four eighth and ninth inning runs scored by the Red Sox were charged to Noah Skirrow. Skirrow started the ninth with a walk and hit by pitch, and departed in favor of Andrew Schultz. Schultz allowed back-to-back singles as the Red Sox tied the game, 6-6. He then uncorked a wild pitch to allow the winning run to score.
Featured Card: Merrifield gets the card here for his first home run in a Phillies uniform, and I hope I'm featuring more of his cards throughout the year. He's appeared in every Topps flagship set since 2018, and this is his latest flagship appearance from last year's set.
