Personal
While working as a bullpen catcher during a game against Oakland, Phillips met his future fiancee, Molly Ray. She was sitting in the stands as a spectator, and they made eye contact throughout the game. When it went into extra innings, Phillips impulsively wrote his phone number on a ball and threw it to Ray. She sent him a text message, and they subsequently began dating. In recognition of the circumstances of their meeting, they decided to hold their wedding in the bullpen at Safeco Field, after the conclusion of the Mariners' game on June 20, 2010.
