MILWAUKEE — New Phillies relievers Tim Mayza and Lou Trivino have a long history together. “Pretty much from the time we both picked up a baseball,” Mayza said. Save for a few months together on the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League’s Quakertown Blazers, they never shared a team, but they played against each other from Little League on. “Pretty much every step of the way,” Mayza said, “we knew where each other was.”
They know again now: side-by-side in Philadelphia’s bullpen. Mayza fielded questions from reporters at American Family Field on Monday, less than 24 hours after getting claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
