Surging Arms

Hector Neris and Edubray Ramos shined out of the pen this week. The duo combined to toss five scroreless innings with six strikeouts.

Two of the Phillies young starters had nice bounce back performances after enduring some recent struggles.

Vincent Velasquez had a nice start this week. Velasquez gave up just one earned run in five innings pitched and struck out seven in the Phils win against the Mets on Sunday.

Jerad Eickhoff also had a good start this week. Eickhoff gave up just two earned runs over six innings in the Phillies 5-3 win against the White Sox on Wednesday.
