Spring Training Game 13 - Win Eludes Phils Again

2023 Choice Lehigh Valley

, Phillies 2
Spring Training Game 13 - Thursday Afternoon, March 7th in Port Charlotte
Record - 4-6-3

One Sentence Summary:  Aaron Nola suffered a rough outing and the Phillies offense was again quiet, losing for the third time this week by a score of 3-2.

What It Means:  The Phillies are 0 for the week so far, having last won a game on Saturday afternoon.

What Happened:  Nola pitched into the fourth, striking out five, but departing with his team trailing, 3-2.  That would be the final score as the remaining six innings were a showcase for both team's bullpens.  Of the six relievers used by the Phillies, only Yunior Marte could earn a spot on the opening day roster, and he threw a scoreless fifth inning.  Edmundo Sosa had a pair of hits, including a double, and Aramis Garcia accounted for all the scoring with a two-run single in the third.

Featured Card:  Catcher Garcia is batting an even .500 (9 for 18) for the spring.  I only have one card of his in my Phillies collection so far, from last year's IronPigs team set.

Camp Head Count:  62
