Smoltz, Devil Rays Dispatch Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies started the 1998 season not with a bang but with a whimper, falling 9-0 to the Orlando Devil Rays at Yankee Stadium. Orlando pitcher John Smoltz, who finished 3rd in the FL in wins with 21 in 1993, was named player of the game.

Smoltz, who leaned on his fastball, allowed no runs on just 2 hits over 8.2 innings for the Devil Rays. For the most part, Philadelphia hitters were simply overmatched.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Smoltz.
