Now having to continually redeem themselves every year after their 2015 defeat, the Phillies embarked on the 2018 version of Spring Training with a 9-0 victory over the University of Tampa Spartans that might actually be remembered as 6-0. Who knows for sure?
The Phils managed to cram more than 25 players into the game, cycling through nearly everyone available to them. A handful of expected starters - Carlos Santana, Rhys Hoskins, Odubel Herrera, and Cesar Hernandez, to name four - did not play.
