Spring Training Game 5 - Phils Fit to Be Tied Again

2023 Topps Allen & Ginter #158
Phillies 7
, Braves 7
Spring Training Game 5 - Wednesday Afternoon, February 28th in Clearwater
Record - 2-1-2

One Sentence Summary:  For the second day in a row, the Phillies couldn't keep a three-run lead in the ninth inning, with their game again ending in a tie.

What It Means:  It's only game five?

What Happened:  J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm hit first inning home runs, giving the Phillies an early 3-0 lead.  Aramis Garcia had a nice day at the plate, with the catcher collecting two RBI-singles.  Tyler Phillips started for the Phillies and allowed a pair of runs in his two innings.  The core of the Phillies' bullpen - Seranthony Dominguez, Matt Strahm, Jose Alvarado and Jeff Hoffman - combined for 3 2/3 scoreless innings and five strikeouts.  It was Austin Brice this time who couldn't hold the lead.  With the Phillies leading 7-4, Brice allowed three ninth inning runs and the game ended in a tie.

Featured Card:  Bohm was making his spring debut following some neck stiffness, hitting a two-run home run in his first at-bat.  This is his card from last year's Allen & Ginter set, released in September.

Camp Head Count:  62
