Morning News: Is Lively worthy of the fifth starter spot?

Here is your news update.

A GOOD WIN: The Phillies were losing early to the Yankees, but they made a furious comeback and won 7-6 on Thursday. Ben Lively started and pitched OK to start, then badly to finish (4 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K). Tommy Hunter wasn’t very good either (0.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB).

Tommy Joseph went 2-for-3. Michael Sadowski wrote about his hot spring and if it means anything about his future.

AS FOR BEN: Lively is one of the contenders to start in the rotation this season.
