2014 Grapefruit League record: 8-12
W- Jeff Manship (1-0)
L- Kevin Chapman (0-1)
Astros home runs: None.
The Phillies took this one behind a 6-0 run that occurred between the 5th and 8th innings.
On another note, it's now 10 days until Opening Day.
Starting Pitcher: Lucas Harrell
Lucas Harrell's Jeykll-and-Hyde spring rolled on, as he pitched into the 5th and gave up 1 run. This comes after he got absolutely demolished by the Tigers to the tune of 10 runs in 1.2 innings. He did walk 2 without recording a strikeout, but got 9 groundouts (against 1 flyout).
Final line: 4.1 IP, 6 H, ER, 2 BB
Bullpen
Kevin Chapman was the first man out of the bullpen for the Astros, coming on after Harrell allowed an RBI double to Ronny Cedeño with 1 out in the 5th. Chapman proceeded to strike out Cody Asche (which I learned was pronounced "Ash-ee" and not "Ash") and Ryan Howard to end the inning. However, he was saddled with the L after the Phillies broke a 1-1 tie off of him with a pair in the 6th.
Darin Downs was next up, and he gave up 3 in his 2 innings of work.
Josh Fields struck out the side in order in the 9th.
Offense
1 in the 1st, 2 in the last.
Dexter Fowler reached safely in all of his plate appearances, and he scored the first run of the game on a Jason Castro double in the 1st. In the 9th, Adron Chambers had a sac fly and Jonathan Villar hit an RBI single. Fowler, Castro, and Villar had 2 hits apiece.
