The Phillies played two split-squad games on Sunday, falling to the Yankees 1-0 in the first, and tying the Detroit Tigers 4-4 in the second.
- Cliff Lee got the start against the Tigers. Lee got off to a rocky start, giving up two runs in the first inning. He finished his day with two scoreless innings, allowing six hits, striking out three, and didn’t allow a walk.
- Kyle Kendrick was on the hill to start against the Yankees. He threw three scoreless innings, giving up three hits and striking out two.
- Jimmy Rollins went 1-3 with a walk. He’s now hitting .235 for the spring.
- Jonathan Papelbon gave up a run on two hits in his inning of work.
- Phillipe Aumont pitched a scoreless inning, but walked two.
- It was a rough day at the plate for Juan Pierre. The veteran went 0-5 with two strikeouts, and left six runners on base.
- Jim Thome went 1-3 with an RBI.
- Shane Victorino went 0-4 and left three runners stranded.
- Freddy Galvis got another look at second base, and also went 1-2 at the plate with an RBI, continuing his productive spring.
- John Mayberry drove in a run, but finished the game 1-4. His average currently stands at .217 for the spring.
- Laynce Nix went 2-3, giving him four hits in his last five plate appearances.
- Domonic Brown returned to action today, and went 0-2. He played as a DH, so there weren’t any adventures in the outfield today.
- Mike Stutes gave up two hits, but finished the B game with a scoreless inning.
Denny, Mayberry going 1-4 actually RAISED his average to .217.
Galvis play some 2nd base?…Very good idea…Manuel gonna need to keep an open mind as far as lineups and player’s roles this season…IMHO Galvis can be a very solid pro, and with Utley’s knees…
Agree Frank. Galvis will be in the MI for this team when Utley/Rollins are gone and this year when they are hurt.
