Aumont rocked in spring opener

Posted by mattsmith on 4th March 2010

The Phillies’ spring training opener against Florida State was highlighted (if that’s the right word) by top pitching prospect Phillippe Aumont’s outing.

The 6-7 right-hander allowed five runs on three hits while issuing three walks in 2/3 of an inning.

“It’s the first outing, you have to start with that,” Aumont said . “I can’t do worse than that. We’re just going to have to build on that.”

As for the rest of the game:

  • Every Phillies regular started the game except for Shane Victorino, who is nursing a sore shoulder.
  • Jimmy Rollins led off the game with a single and stole second base in his only at-bat.
  • Top position-player prospect Domonic Brown singled, knocked in a run and scored twice.
  • Dane Sardinha went 2-for-2 with four RBIs.
  • J.A. Happ pitched two scoreless innings
  • Jesus Sanchez, the only player left from the Bobby Abreu trade to the Yankees in 2006, struck out the side in his only inning of work.
  • The Phillies rallied from a five-run deficit to win, 13-6, in eight innings.
  • Drew Naylor didn’t allow a hit and fanned four in two innings of work.
