HeKKKKKKKKKKKKtor Neris 2.0

I complained as loudly as anyone about Hector Neris this season. So it's only fair to point out how good he's been since returning from the minors a couple of weeks ago.

Neris has appeared in 6 games since coming back, and has allowed 2 hits and 1 walk in 5.2 innings. AND 12 STRIKEOUTS. That means 70.6 percent of the outs he's' recorded have been by strikeout.

I'm not saying it's time to put him back as closer, but it's extremely encouraging to see him pitching this well. If the Phils can find a way to score some runs, Neris could be very valuable over the last 5 weeks of the season with a playoff spot within reach.
