MIAMI -- In four years with the Phillies, closer Brad Lidge tallied 100 saves and was a force to be reckoned with out of the bullpen. Now, the right-hander has returned to help Philadelphia's staff of relievers -- but this time, off the field.
For the entirety of the Phillies' series with the Marlins at Marlins Park, Lidge has been in and around the clubhouse, working with the team's young pitching staff. He spent time before and after each game imparting his experience and wisdom from a prolific 11-year career as Philadelphia prepares for a pennant chase in the second half.
