Spring Training Game 25 - Tuesday Afternoon, March 19th in Lakeland
Record - 8-11-6

One Sentence Summary:  Ranger Suarez and three Phillies relievers allowed three singles and struck out 12 in this 0-0 tie with the Tigers.

What It Means:  I'll keep this post short, in the spirit of this game, which took one hour and 58 minutes to play.

What Happened:  Suarez struck out four, with David Buchanan, Andrew Bellatti and Connor Brogdon all helping to preserve the shutout.  The Phillies offense had four singles with only one runner reaching second base.

Featured Card:  Tigers' DH and Phillies Room favorite Matt Vierling went 0 for 3 out of the lead-off spot for Detroit.

Camp Head Count:  50

In the biggest roster reduction (so far) for the spring, the Phillies optioned Kolby Allard (lhp), Max Castillo (rhp), Rodolfo Castro (inf) and Darick Hall (1b) to Lehigh Valley.  Austin Brice (rhp), Ricardo Pinto (rhp) and Cody Roberts (c) were reassigned to minor league camp.  We're less than a week away from the tougher roster decisions.
