Overview

• The Phillies acquired Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins at the July 31 trade deadline in exchange for prospects Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait.
• His debut entrance featured dimmed stadium lights, cell phone flashlights, an animated spider on the video board and his signature Undertaker gong.
• Duran retired all three batters on four splinkers—a splitter-sinker hybrid—to seal a 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers and record his first save as a Phillie.
• He brings a 1.97 ERA and 17 saves this season, reinforcing a late-inning corps that has helped Philadelphia retain its NL East lead.
• Under a one-year, $4.12 million contract with club control through 2027, Duran offers both immediate impact and long-term bullpen stability.
