Andrew Painter gave up just one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a Phillies' loss, Painter closed out his first MLB regular season on a high note. The rookie righty matched a career high with eight strikeouts, hitting that mark for the third time this year. Over five starts this month, Painter has put up a 3.49 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 30-t0 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings. He would likely move into a bullpen role for the Phillies' first playoff series should they clinch this weekend.

Jhoan Duran gave up one run on a walk and a hit while striking out two in the top of the ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Duran looked like he was going to breeze to his 33rd save of the season on Tuesday, as he struck out the first two batters that came to the plate. The All-Star closer then allowed things to get a little more interesting by giving up a walk and an RBI single. Duran staved off the Brewers' comeback attempt after that, however. Duran still sports an outstanding 1.88 ERA with 81 strikeouts through 57 1/3 innings for the campaign.
