Phillies' Jerome Williams picks up loss, blown save Saturday vs. Braves

Phillies pitcher Jerome Williams (4-11) took the loss and was also charged with a blown save in a 2-1 loss to the Braves.

The former starter's struggles have followed him to the bullpen, with Williams surrendering a two-run, bases loaded double to Freddie Freeman that proved to be the winning runs for the Braves.

Williams actually entered Saturday's contest with three consecutive scoreless relief appearances, and his pace of allowing homers has naturally slowed with the reduced amount of innings he is now pitching. However, Williams' track record as a starter would suggest that he eventually will falter more often than not.
