Neris recorded his 12th save of the season in a 7-5 victory against the Padres on Wednesday, firing 1.2 scoreless innings in which he allowed a walk and recorded two strikeouts.
With runners on first and second in the eighth and clinging to a two-run lead, the Phillies turned to Neris. He promptly walked the first batter he faced, but he then retired the next two to escape the bases-loaded jam. Neris subsequently set down the Padres in order during the ninth, keeping him perfect (12-for-12) in save opportunities for the season. He also has a 2.03 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 38 strikeouts in 26.2 innings.
