Duran secured the save Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing no runs on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
After blowing his first save of the season Tuesday versus Toronto, Duran was shaky again Wednesday but managed to hold on for a scoreless save. The hard-throwing right-hander continues to maintain a strong grip as Philadelphia's closer, posting a 1.99 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB while converting 17 of his 18 save opportunities. Duran is tied for second in the National League in saves with Riley O'Brien.
