Jhoan Duran News: Shuts door for save Thursday

Duran struck out the side in the ninth inning for the save Thursday against the Mets.

Duran is now a perfect 5-for-5 on save opportunities to begin the month of September. The hard-throwing right-hander has gone 13-for-14 on save chances since joining the Phillies, and he's doing well to preserve his place as Philadelphia's closer. Over 64 frames between the Twins and Phillies, Duran owns an outstanding 1.83 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 73:18 K:BB.
