Cozens and Pinto see action in MLB Futures Game

Outfielder Dylan Cozens and pitcher Ricardo Pinto represented the Phillies as Major League Baseball kicked off its All-Star week festivities on Sunday with the MLB All-Star Futures Game in San Diego.

The pair had minimal impact on the game that saw the World team pound the United State team by a score of 11-3.

Cozens was 0-for-1 in a single plate appearance for the US, while Pinto retired both batters he faced for the World club.

The Phils prospects would serve up a pair of defensive gems as Pinto allowed a deep fly ball to the second batter he faced that could have been a home run if not for a spectacular over-the-wall catch by Padres center field prospect Manny Margot.
