Phillies Prospects in Futures Game

After a long rain delay, Kyle Drabek and Yohan Flande were able to get into some action during the 2009 Futures Game.

Drabek pitched a 1-2-3 second inning against the World Futures.  He struck out one batter.  His fastball clocked as high as 96 mph and his curveball was impressive.  He threw 10 pitches, 7 for strikes.

Flande got two easy outs on a strikeout and ground-out to start the second inning.  Then, he allowed two straight singles, but escaped the jam by striking out Danny Espinosa.

The World Futures rallied in the final inning to win, 7-5.
