The Philadelphia Phillies suffered a crushing defeat to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night. Both Hector Neris and Enyel De Los Santos blew multi-run leads in the 12-inning contest.
Neris is now 1-3 with a 2.93 ERA and six saves in eight opportunities this season. Making his debut in 2014, Neris has survived the tenures of managers Ryne Sandberg, Pete Mackanin, and Gabe Kapler.
Fans grow tired and impatient from watching Neris in the closer position seemingly every season.
