Asher enjoyed experience of his first start
Asher's first career start 0:51 8/30/15: Alec Asher throws 5 2/3 innings in his first career Major League start, fanning three and allowing four runs on eights hits "I liked him," Phillies interim manager Pete Mackanin said. "I liked his stuff. I liked his approach. He got behind too often, he left the ball up in the zone a little too often. It's understandable when a guy is in his first Major League appearance in front of his home [fans]."
Asher acknowledged he had some nerves early in the game, but he became more comfortable the more he pitched and he left feeling like he can succeed at this level.
