Instant Reaction: Blue Jays prospects rally falls short in 5-4 defeat to Phillies prospects

"Austin Cates started the game for the Blue Jays, but he got off to a rocky start. After getting the first out, he gave up a home run to Aroon Escobar, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead."

"The Jays managed to cut the Phillies lead in half in the top of the third, as Sean Keys led off the inning with a double. After Arjun Nimmala struck out and Jake Casey grounded out, Keys was brought in thanks to an RBI single from Charles McAdoo."

"Unfortunately, that's the closest the Jays came, as it looked as if Aaron Parker hit a three-run shot, but it was deemed to be a foul. He grounded out on the next pitch to end the game."
