Neris earned his first hold of the season Monday with a scoreless inning in the Phillies' 4-3 win over the Reds.
Neris set up Jeanmar Gomez, who looked shaky in picking up his first save of the season. Manager Pete Mackanin expressed concern about Gomez's outing after the game, indicating the closer is on a short leash. Neris would likely get the first crack at closing for the Phils if Gomez loses his job.
