Saturday Afternoon, March 8
BayCare Ballpark - Clearwater, FL
Record - 5-8-1
One Sentence Summary: Taijuan Walker looked solid in his start and Alec Bohm doubled and homered in this 5-4 win over the Blue Jays.
What It Means: With clocks springing ahead this morning, and a spring-like vibe in the air right now, we're getting closer to meaningful baseball games.
What Happened: Walker, seemingly a pitcher without a spot on the roster, pitched 3 1/3 innings, allowing a solo home run, four hits overall and striking out three. Nabil Crasmitt gave up a pair of Blue Jays runs before getting the final out of the game and recording a save.

The Phillies scored all their runs early. Alec Bohm led off the second with a ground-rule double to deep center, followed by a single from Max Kepler. Three straight RBI singles followed from J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott and Kyle Schwarber to give the Phillies a 3-0 lead. Bohm led off the third with a solo home run, his third of the spring. Brandon Marsh singled later in the inning to score Max Kepler, who had reached on a walk, giving the Phillies a 5-0 lead.
Featured Card: Walker really didn't give me many opportunities to feature any of his cards last season. Here's his card from the ballpark-exclusive Kids Club set, and I hope the Phillies produce these cards again in 2025.
