Phils Shut Down Pirates 3-0

 Today's Game:

Chad Kuhl became the first Bucco to get a second start this spring today, and was followed by Wil Crowe. They both worked a pair of frames The rest of the slab crew were Edgar Santana, Blake Cederlind, Yerry De Los Santos and Sean Poppen. Brian Goodwin got his second straight start in center.

Chad gave up a two-run dinger to Bryce Harper in the first inning and Cutch welcomed himself back with a solo shot off of  Blake Cederlind on an 0-2 sinker that didn't. That was plenty to give the Phils a 3-0 win; the Bucs managed just two hits, singles by Wilmer Difo and Travis Swaggerty, with 13 whiffs.

Notes:

  • Tough to tell from the Pirates offensive line, but today was a full nine-inning game.
  • SS Liover Peguero has arrived at camp; he had passport problems try to get to Bradenton. 

Tomorrow's Game: 

The Yankees visit LECOM Park with the first pitch at 1:05. The match will be aired on KDKA 1020 and the PRN. Cody Ponce will take on Jameson Taillon with the other hurlers TBA. (spoiler alert: rain is forecast for Saturday, so the managers backed off the original Mitch Keller-Gerrit Cole pairing.)
