SURGING ARMS

As noted above, Zach Eflin shined this week, going the distance and striking out six in a Friday night win at PNC Park over the always tough Pittsburgh Pirates.

Jeremy Hellickson pitched a gem in the Phils lone win against the Marlins. Hellickson gave up just one earned run and struck out eight in the team’s 4-1 win on Wednesday. The Fish must have been impressed, as rumors are heating up that they are trying to trade for Hellickson.

Hector Neris and Andrew Bailey pitched well out of the pen this week. The duo combined for five scoreless innings and six strikeouts.
