Brandon Workman Pitches Scoreless Ninth, Earns Win
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brandon Workman pitched a scoreless ninth inning and earned the win vs the Mets Monday. Workman was brought into a tie game in the bottom of the ninth and pitched around a walk to get the game to extra innings where he was rewarded with a win thanks to a Jean Segura two-run homer. Former closer Hector Neris earned the save in extras but Workman was used in the higher-leverage situation and has five saves in five chances since being traded to Philadelphia. He walks to many batters to be an elite closing option, but he is still the best reliever to own for saves in the Phillies bullpen.
