Phillips took a no-decision during Sunday's 4-0 win over the Mets, allowing no runs on two hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
Phillips fared well in his first start of the season, matching a season high in punchouts. The 28-year-old also worked efficiently, throwing 37 of his 59 pitches for strikes. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, manager Clayton McCullough confirmed following Sunday's contest that Phillips is staying in Miami's rotation for now, so the right-hander could push his pitch count in to the 60-to-70 range the next time his turn comes up next weekend in a rematch with the Mets at Citi Field. Phillips holds a 1.07 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB over 33.2 innings on the season, but he might be tough to depend on as a streaming option until he's fully stretched out for a normal starter's workload.
