Last night, the Phillies’ bullpen held the Rockies without a baserunner over 4 1/3 innings. Colorado isn’t exactly a titan of offensive production, but this season, they’ve also been no slouch. Holding them down like that is still rather impressive.
It got me thinking: other Jhoan Duran, who is this team’s best reliever this season? Naturally my mind went to Brad Keller, but he’s been merely good instead of his otherworldly self he was in 2025. Chase Shugart has opened some eyes so far, but would we really put him second behind Duran? There are other options to choose from, but I still think it might be Keller.
