PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils continued spring training with a little split squad action, meaning the team split in half today, with the starters playing the Toronto Blue Jays, while the reserves went up against the Tigers. On the strength of 4 shutout innings from Brett Myers, the starters defeated Toronto 6-1. On the other hand thanks to 3 innings of 1 hit ball by Justin Verlander, the Tigers outlasted the Phils reserves 6-2. So once again it's a mixed review for the Phils this spring.
