READING –He was pitching in the snow, fighting off a dizzy bout along with early-game wildness, yet somehow Reading righthander Franklyn Kilome persevered.
A member of the Phillies 40-man roster, Kilome had mixed emotions about his opening start this season and rightly so.
His line in Monday’s 6-5 win over Portland was a mixed bag: four innings, three runs, two earned, two walks, two hit batters but eight strikeouts.
“It ended for him on a really good note,” Reading manager Gregg Legg said.
The beginning wasn’t so hot. Neither was the game-time temperature, which was 39 degrees and falling.
