Spring Training Game 21 - Wilson, Reyes Lead Phils Over Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies  6 
New York Yankees  4 

2025 Choice Reading Fightin
Phils (Series 3) #27
Spring Training Game 21
Saturday Afternoon, March 14th
George M. Steinbrenner Field - Tampa, FL
Record - 8-12-1

One Sentence Summary:  Bryse Wilson had a strong start and Felix Reyes hit a tie-breaking ninth inning home run as the Phillies downed the Yankees, 6-4.

What It Means:  A work day for me, but at least the Phillies were on in the background.

What Happened:  Wilson, who I would think is either the team's sixth or emergency starter at this point, threw three scoreless innings, allowing no hits and walking a pair.  Justin Crawford drove in the first run of the game with a single to score Rene Pinto in the third, after Pinto had reached on a ground-rule double.  A throwing error and an RBI single from Dylan Moore gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead.

With the score tied 4-4 heading to the ninth, Pedro Leon reached when he was hit by a pitch and Felix Reyes untied it with a two-run home run.  Nolan Hoffman pitched a perfect bottom of the ninth to secure the save.

Featured Card:  Reyes was already the featured card earlier this spring, but thanks to the Reading Fightin Phils releasing three (!) team sets last year, I have a few more cards of his to go.

Camp Head Count:  54 - 2 = 52

Prior to the game, the Phillies optioned Alan Rangel (rhp) to Lehigh Valley and reassigned Keaton Anthony (inf) to minor league camp.
