Phillies Make a Comeback But Lose to The Orioles 5-4

The Phillies lose 5-4 in a game that was delayed about two hours due to rain. The Phillies starting pitcher Jamie Moyer was making his first start in a Grapefruit League game after starting three "B"games against the Blue Jays. The 47 year old southpaw had a solid start going 5 innings giving up 5 hits allowing 1 run and striking out an impressive 6 batters. But the offense could not wake up after the rain delay and only could scratch one run in the first eight innings as they got their first run since St.Patrick's Day in the second on a Paul Hoover solo home run. Placido Polanco got two hits.Mike Zagurski came on for the eight and struggled giving up four runs on 4 hits and 2 walks. The Phillies offense finally woke up in the ninth scoring 3 runs one on a double by Ozzie Chavez and two on the two run HR by Greg Dobbs. The Phillies will face the Yankees on Monday on ESPN. The Phillies are 8-6-1 in Spring Training.
