Neris was pulled from a save opportunity Tuesday against the Braves after allowing two one-out singles in the ninth inning.
Neris got Nick Markakis to pop out, but then gave up singles to Matt Kemp and Matt Adams before he was pulled. Manager Pete Mackanin turned to Pat Neshek, who closed out the game. Neris is likely going to remain the first option to close in the Phillies' pen, but he has to perform to keep that role.
