PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils continued their spring training trials and travails yesterday and today. Yesterday Cole Hamels struggled a bit allowing 4 runs on 3 hits, including 2 homers in a 7-7 tie with the Yankees. Today the youngster Doug Savery pitched two solid innings and new Phillie Eric Bruntlett went 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs as the Phils defeated the Pirates 3-1. So its another mixed review for the Phils thus far in this spring training. Go figure.
