Spring Training Game 15 - Saturday Afternoon, March 9th in Clearwater
Record - 5-7-3
One Sentence Summary: Edmundo Sosa hit a sixth inning grand slam to tie the score 5-5, but eight unanswered runs from the Blue Jays in the ninth inning sunk the Phils.
What It Means: Spring training records mean nothing, but the Phillies have lost a frustratingly bunch of times this spring using minor league pitchers over the last few innings of most games.
What Happened: Taijuan Walker made his first start of the spring, pitching two innings and allowing a run on two hits while striking out three. Nick Castellanos hit his second home run of the spring in the second inning. Sosa unloaded in the sixth after Bryce Harper walked, J.T. Realmuto was hit by a pitch and Bryson Stott singled. In the ninth, the Blue Jays plated eight runs on seven hits, including a two-run home run and a grand slam, off Phillies relievers Noah Skirrow and Alex Rao.
Featured Card: Sosa's game-tying slam should have been the story of this game, if not for the ninth inning bullpen meltdown. Here's his card from the 2023 Topps Update set, his first flagship set appearance with the Phillies.
