Spring Training Game 11 - Phils Working on Some Stuff

Philadelphia Phillies  7 
Detroit Tigers  17 

1982 Donruss #459
Spring Training Game 11
Wednesday Afternoon, March 5
Joker Marchant Stadium - Lakeland, FL
Record - 4-6-1

One Sentence Summary:  Yikes.

What It Means:  And I thought the 12-3 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday was bad!

What Happened:  Toiling away at my chosen profession on Wednesday afternoon, I couldn't help but notice the many, many alerts coming through my phone for the Phillies-Tigers game.  Turns out none of them were good.  After an 82-minute rain delay, Jesus Luzardo was creamed in his outing, allowing three home runs and departing with the Tigers up by a score of 6-0.  Six more Tigers runs scored in the third, courtesy of many walks and hits surrendered by Matt Strahm and Andrew Bechtold.  A lot more hits, including a pair of home runs from Tomas Nido, gave the Tigers 17 runs on the day.

Buddy Kennedy had a double and a sixth inning home run for the Phillies.  Christian Arroyo and Johan Rojas also homered.

Featured Card:  What the heck, here's a card of probably my favorite former Tigers and Phillies player, Johnny Wockenfuss.

Camp Head Count:  61
