Wil Nieves singled home Leandro Castro in the top of the fourth inning to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead, but the Rays would demolish Michael Stutes in the seventh inning to take the lead on their way to a 6-1 win.
The Phillies again had a lackluster offensive effort, scoring just one run on seven hits in the game.

While the offense left much to be desired, the pitching (with the exception of Stutes) had a nice outing. Roberto Hernandez made his second start of the spring, tossing three scoreless innings while allowing just one hit.
Jeff Manship relieved Hernandez, throwing two scoreless innings, before handing things over to Phillippe Aumont who pitched one perfect inning. Stutes then got lit up, allowing five runs on five hits in an inning pitched before Justin De Fratus finished things up for the Phillies, allowing one run in one inning of work.
Yet again a member of the Phillies was pulled from the game due to injury. This time it was Freddy Galvis, as the infielder was lifted with ankle issues, though it seemed to be more for precautionary reasons.
Next up for the Phillies is a night game Tuesday at 6:35 against the Blue Jays.
