Neris imploded Saturday, allowing three straight solo home runs to the Dodgers to blow a save opportunity.
Two of the three home runs Neris allowed came on fastballs, a pitch that is not his strength. He established himself as an elite reliever last season thanks to his nasty splitter. Manager Pete Mackanin told Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia that he intends to talk to Neris about his pitch selection. The Dominican reliever is likely still the top choice to close in Philly despite his struggles Saturday.
