Tuesday Afternoon, March 4
BayCare Ballpark - Clearwater, FL
Record - 4-5-1
One Sentence Summary: Not much good happened for the Phillies in this 12-3 spring loss to the Yankees in Clearwater.
What It Means: Ten games into the spring schedule, and this is the first game for which I had absolutely no idea what was happening until it was over. It looks as if I didn't miss much.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler was likely "working on some stuff" as he was hit early and often in his two-inning outing. His final line - six runs (five earned) on eight hits and a pair of strikeouts. Cody Stashak relieved Wheeler and was greeted rudely, allowing a three-run home run to Spencer Jones and a two-run home run to Paul Goldschmidt. The Yankees scored seven runs in the third inning, and only two of those runs were earned as a result of costly errors from Cal Stevenson and Trea Turner.

Max Kepler hit his first home run of the spring in the second inning.
Featured Card: Stashak is in camp with the minor league squad, and I was surprised to see he had pitched in parts of four seasons with the Twins between 2019 and 2022. He showed up in a few Topps releases in 2020, and this is his card from the 2020 Topps Heritage set.
