Spring Training Game 17
Monday Afternoon, March 9th
JetBlue Park - Fort Myers, FL
Record - 5-11-1

One Sentence Summary:  With the big bats at the World Baseball Classic, the Phillies offense continued to sputter along in this 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.

What It Means:  We're roughly 2 1/2 weeks away from opening day.

What Happened:  The Phillies managed six singles and went 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position.  They scored a pair of runs in the second on a Jose Rodriguez single and a ground ball double play from Keaton Anthony.  A fifth inning run scored when they successful pulled off a delayed double steal, with Johan Rojas taking second and Bryan Rincon coming home.  

The Red Sox scored four runs in the third, all charged to Phillies' starter Bryse Wilson.  Wilson allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one.

Featured Card:  Wilson could be a potential fifth starter for the club at some point during the season.  He's played in parts of eight big league seasons, finding the most success with the Brewers in 2023 when he was 6-0 with a 2.58 ERA in 53 relief appearances.

Camp Head Count:  65 - 1 = 64
