Spring Training Game 27 - Phils Fall Again, Haven't Won This Week

2017 Topps Heritage #42

Rays 6, Phillies 5
Spring Training Game 27 - Thursday Afternoon, March 21st in Clearwater
Record - 8-13-6

One Sentence Summary:  Late inning runs from the Rays took the win away from the Phillies, and it's been a week since the team last won a game.

What It Means:  Austin Brice has had a rough spring, and tasked with holding a 5-3 lead in the eighth, he was charged with a pair of runs as the Rays tied the game.  Brice has already blown three saves, and narrowly missed his fourth as Taylor Lehman was on the mound when the Rays' Willy Vasquez hit his game-tying double.  (Both runs were charged to Brice.)

What Happened:  Kody Clemens, hoping for a bench spot, hit another home run, his third of the spring.  He'd add an RBI single in the sixth.  Johan Rojas and Edmundo Sosa also came through with RBIs in the Phillies' four-run sixth inning.

Featured Card:  Brice was previously reassigned to minor league camp on Tuesday so he was a minor league call-up for this game.  He's got one mainstream baseball card to his name so far, from the 2017 Topps Heritage set.  Brice shares a Marlins Rookie Stars card in that set with Yefri Perez.

Camp Head Count:  43
