Jhoan Duran Delivers 'Electric' Phillies Debut, Locks Down Win
Jhoan Duran, the Phillies' newly acquired closer, delivered an "electric" debut on Friday night, securing a 5-4 win over the Tigers in just four pitches. Duran, known for his splinker, showcased the elite form that saw him save 74 games with a 2.47 ERA in Minnesota, where his four-seam fastball averaged 100.2 mph. He also notably adopted jersey No. 59 for the Phillies after manager Rob Thomson relinquished the number as a gesture of welcome.
