Spring Training Game 31 - Monday Afternoon, March 25th in Clearwater
Record - 9-15-7
One Sentence Summary: In a game where the only goal is that no one gets hurt, the Phillies lost to the Rays in the spring training finale, 6-3.
What It Means: Over the final 13 games of the spring, the Phillies went 1-8-4. Not great, but all of that will be forgotten once the season starts. And we'll need to wait a day longer for the season to start, as weather pushed back the home opener from Thursday to Friday afternoon.
What Happened: It was truly a game of final tune-ups. David Buchanan got the start, pitching four innings and allowing a pair of runs on five hits. He'll begin the season in the IronPigs' starting rotation. J.T. Realmuto hit a two-run home run in the first inning. Cristian Pache ended the exhibition season by grounding into a double play before the entire team headed north.
Featured Card: Bryce Harper went 0 for 2 with a strikeout and finished with a spring average of .179, and Kyle Schwarber was 1 for 2 in this game to raise his spring average to .132. Those numbers won't matter come Friday, and my hope is that my 16th season of documenting the Phillies season on this blog ends with a World Series parade in October.
