An offensive outburst in the second inning spotted Cliff Lee a 6-0 lead, but it would be short-lived, as the left-hander struggled on the afternoon.

Following an inning that saw the Phillies draw three walks (out of character for the Phillies of years past) and was capped by a Jimmy Rollins grand slam, Lee found himself with a seemingly comfortable lead.

It would be anything but, as the Rangers scored four runs in the bottom half of the second and three more in the third to take a 7-6 lead. The Phillies would respond however, winning the high-scoring Opening Day affair 14-10 over the Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington.

With the season starting Monday, it is time to make some completely random (and probably terrible) predictions for the 2014 Phillies season. Here we go.

The Phillies have announced their Opening Day roster, which will include 12 pitchers and five men on the bench, with perhaps the only surprise being the inclusion of left-handed pitcher Mario Hollands.

The 25-year-old did have a solid spring however, compiling a 3.09 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP in 11.2 innings pitched.

Kyle Kendrick went five scoreless innings in his final tune up before the regular season. Kendrick allowed just three hits in the outing, but with the Phillies offense still nowhere to be found, they fell to the Pirates 3-0.

Chase Utley would double off the top of the fence in right field in the first, but would be stranded on base.

Domonic Brown gunned down Russell Martin at home in the top of the fourth to keep the game scoreless.

The Phillies offense was nonexistent yet again this afternoon, as they were held to just one hit in a 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays to wrap up their Grapefruit League schedule.

A.J. Burnett had a solid final spring outing, lasting five innings, while surrendering just one run on three hits and striking out six.

Cliff Lee squared off with Tigers ace Justin Verlander this afternoon at Bright House Field. As expected it was a low-scoring affair, as Lee came out on the losing end of 1-0 game.

Lee lasted five innings in the start, allowing one run on five hits, while also recording seven strikeouts. The Tigers scored the only run of the game in the first, as Miguel Cabrera followed an Ian Kinsler triple with an RBI ground out.

Six Phillies' pitcher combined for a shutout in a rare Spring Training night game, as the Phillies cruised past the Yankees in a 6-0 win.

Jeff Manship got the start for the Phillies, tossing four scoreless innings, while scattering five hits before handing things off to Mike Adams for his first appearance in a Major League game in quite some time.

Kevin Frandsen has opted for free agency rather than report to the Phillies’ Triple-A team. Frandsen was outrighted on Sunday, leaving him 72 hours to decide whether to go to Lehigh Valley or enter free agency.

By choosing free agency, Frandsen releases the Phillies from the $900,000 they would have owed him this season.

Cameron Rupp and Tony Gwynn Jr. each notched two RBIs for the Phillies on the afternoon, as they topped the Blue Jays 6-3 in eight innings.

David Buchanan made the start for the Phillies, giving them two scoreless innings of work while recording two strikeouts.

The Phillies today optioned veteran utility infielder Kevin Frandsen to the Triple-A Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs.

Frandsen has 72 hours to accept his assignment or elect to become a free agent. If Frandsen does elect free agency, he will not receive the $900,000 salary from the Phillies in 2014.
