Jeanmar Gomez, Brett Oberholtzer, and David Hernandez had nice week’s out of the pen, combining for six scoreless innings with six strikeouts.

Jeremy Hellickson continues to pitch well for the Phillies, giving up just one earned run over six innings in Wednesday’s win against the Braves. Hellickson continues to position himself as a strong trade candidate for the team.
