Minor Leagues: R-Phils, Ramirez falter against Aeros

READING - About the only good thing you can say about Thursday's 10th annual Morning Game is that it drew 8,120 fans, the highest Morning Game total ever. Otherwise, the Akron Aeros ripped the R-Phils, 8-4, to salvage their three-game series.

Phils righthander J.C. Ramirez (5-4) lasted just four innings, allowing seven runs (six earned) on six hits.
