Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Survives for save Monday
Rotowire
Duran earned a save against the Marlins on Monday, allowing one run on two hits with no walks or strikeouts over one scoreless inning.
Duran had a two-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth frame, which proved to be important when Miami put up a run on a pair of singles sandwiched around a groundout. However, the Marlins weren't able to complete the comeback, as Duran retired the final two batters he faced. It was the second straight day with a save for Duran, though both came with multiple allowed baserunners. In fact, the All-Star closer has allowed at least one baserunner in five straight appearances and in seven of nine outings so far in August, yet he's a perfect three-for-three in save chances while allowing just one run over nine innings during that span. Overall, Duran is an impressive 27-for-29 in save opportunities this season with a 1.83 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 62:8 K:BB across 44.1 frames spanning 47 appearances.

Rotowire
Duran secured the save against the Twins on Sunday, striking out three while allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning.
Minnesota brought the possible go-ahead run to the plate in the form of Byron Buxton, but Duran fanned his former teammate to close it out for the Phillies.

Rotowire
Duran (1-4) took the loss and blew the save Monday against the Marlins, allowing three runs on five hits in one-third of an inning.
The star closer exhibited signs of rust in his first save situation since July 11 in Detroit prior to the All-Star break, putting forth an uncharacteristic effort.

With what's still an excellent 2.04 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 53:6 K:BB with 24 saves in 26 chances over 35.1 innings in 2026, however, Duran has established a very strong hold on the closing job and should continue to serve as Philadelphia's top ninth-inning weapon.
