Surging Arms

Severino Gonzalez was called up to the pen this week and did a nice job, posting a 1.69 ERA with 6 strikeouts in 5.1 innings pitched.

Zack Eflin bounced back nicely after a dreadful big league debut last week. He threw 5.2 innings of two-run ball in Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Colton Murray and Jeanmar Gomez had nice week’s out of the pen, combining for 4.1 scoreless innings.

Perhaps the star of the week for the Phillies was starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff, if only because his shutout performance at Toronto resulted in the club’s lone win.

Eickhoff followed up those six scoreless frames by allowing three earned runs in a 4-1 loss to Arizona back home on Saturday. He struck out six and walked just one, but allowed nine hits.
