Lefty Tom Windle came to the Phillies from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Jimmy Rollins trade in late 2014.

Reading is in the midst of their first three game losing streak of the season after being clubbed once again by New Hampshire.

Starter Anthony Vasquez could not get out of the sixth inning after allowing seven runs on 10 hits with two walks. His bullpen struggled as well, as Reinier Roibal allowed two runs after getting just one out in the seventh inning following two outs in the sixth.
