David Phelps was one of the most versatile and most reliable Marlins in 2016.
The 2017 season has been quite different so far for the Marlins’ set-up man.
With the Marlins tied with the Padres going into the seventh, Phelps was tapped to preserve the deadlock.
The Padres proceeded to score four runs with the big blast delivered on a three-run home run by catcher Austin Hedges that resulted in a 5-3 loss for the Marlins at Petco Park.
Adam Conley delivered a quality start for the Marlins (8-8), going six innings and allowing one run on six hits, two walks and struck out five.
