Spring Training Game 29 - Phils Nearing End of Exhibition Schedule

2022 Topps #228
Phillies 6
, Yankees 6
Spring Training Game 29 - Saturday Afternoon, March 23rd in Tampa
Record - 8-14-7

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies played to yet another tie, and there are only two more spring training exhibition games remaining.

What It Means:  Over their last 11 games, the Phillies are 0-7-4.

What Happened:  Spencer Turnbull got the start and looked great, pitching three scoreless innings while striking out five.  Connor Brogdon and Andrew Bellatti allowed a combined five runs over 1 1/3 innings out of the bullpen, and Ricardo Pinto was the recipient of the seemingly daily blown save.  Pinto allowed the tying run to the Yankees in the ninth.

On the offensive side, Whit Merrifield and Cristian Pache had multi-hit days for the Phillies, with Pache going 3 for 4 in his bid to win the final outfield bench spot.  Bryce Harper returned to the line-up for the first time in over a week, driving in a first inning run with a sacrifice fly.

Featured Card:  After the game, the Phillies announced Taijuan Walker was experiencing shoulder stiffness, causing the team to send him for an MRI.  It would appear as if Turnbull takes his spot in the rotation if Walker isn't ready to start the season.

Camp Head Count:  35
