Brad Keller allowed a hit and two walks while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
It was adventurous, but Keller managed to convert his third save of the season on Wednesday night. The big righty was in for the save due to the Phillies trying to manage Jhoan Duran's workload, as he just returned from the IL and worked on Tuesday. Keller will typically be deployed as a setup man moving forward.
Brad Keller allowed no runs on two hits and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning to nail down a save in Monday's 1-0 win over the Marlins.
