Spring Training Game 20 - Phils Fall to Astros as Spring Training Rambles On

2022 Topps Now World Series Matchup #WSM-4
Astros 5
, Phillies 3
Spring Training Game 20 - Friday Night, March 15th in West Palm Beach
Record - 8-9-3

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies fell quietly to the Astros, 5-3, in one of only two spring training night games they'll play this year.

What It Means:  It would have been cool if this game was televised, but given the outcome it's probably a good thing that I largely ignored it.

What Happened:  Cristopher Sanchez pitched the first 2 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits.  Spencer Turnbull, Luis F. Ortiz and Yunior Marte all had scoreless innings of relief for the Phillies.  The offense was mostly quiet until the sixth when Johan Rojas walked, Trea Turner singled and Bryson Stott singled Rojas home.  In the ninth, two more runs scored on a Kody Clemens double and a Matt Kroon ground-out.

Featured Card:  Here's a card featuring the shortstops from the 2022 World Series.  Jeremy Pena didn't play in the Friday night spring training game, but in 2022 he'd go on to be the World Series MVP.  I'd love to add some more of these cards to my Phillies collection in 2024.

Camp Head Count:  56
