One Sentence Summary: Fans were treated to a pitcher's duel from two of the best in the game, as Zack Wheeler and Tarik Skubal faced off and the Phillies and Tigers played to a tie.
What It Means: There are just ten more spring training games remaining on the schedule.
What Happened: Wheeler got touched for two unearned runs, three hits in a walk, while striking out three in a solid five inning performance. The bullpen quartet of Jose Alvarado, Jordan Romano, Orion Kerkering and Devin Sweet shut down the Tigers over the final four frames, striking out a combined eight batters.

The Phillies scored their runs on an RBI single from Bryce Harper in the third, and a sacrifice fly from Trea Turner in the fifth. Harper, now hitting .407 for the spring, and Brandon Marsh both had multi-hit days.
Featured Card: From a post from Scott Lauber on Bluesky, the Phillies honored former manager Lee Elia before this game. The baseball lifer worked in the Phillies' minor league system for years, and is best known in the organization for his roles as a coach (1980-81, 1985-87) and manager (1987-88). Lauber said among the guests in attendance for the ceremony were Pat Gillick and Lou Piniella.

Camp Head Count: 48 - 7 = 41
In the biggest roster purge so far this spring, seven players were assigned to minor league camp. The only one here who surprises me a little is Rodolfo Castro, who had been playing multiple positions throughout the spring as the team looks to replace the injured Weston Wilson on the roster. Those reassigned were: Koyo Aoyagi (rhp), Jose Cuas (rhp), Joel Kuhnel (rhp), John McMillon (rhp), Guillo Zuniga (rhp), Nick Vespi (lhp) and Castro (inf).
