A day later than expected, the Phillies got a victory in their first spring training game.  Yesterday the Phils beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1.  Philadelphia blew the game open with a 7 run 5th inning.  Greg Dobbs led the charge with a 3 run home run.  New acquisitions, Geoff Jenkins and Pedro Feliz produced well with Jenkins driving in Ryan Howard in the 2nd, and Feliz going 2-2 with an RBI and run scored of his own.

Jamie Moyer, the oldest player in the league, was the most impressive performer of the day.  Moyer pitched 3 scoreless innings while giving up only 1 hit and striking out 3.

The Phillies play the Pirates today at 1:05 et.  The game against Florida State was cancelled due to rain.
