The Phillies bullpen had its ups and downs in the just completed home-and-home series against the Toronto Blue Jays. After starting the series off with a 7-0 win, the Jays’ bats opened up and blitzed the Phils over the final three games.
After game one in Toronto, the second game onwards would feature weak starts by the Phillies rotation, leading to the bullpen having to try to hold things down.
That second game was held on Tuesday afternoon in Toronto, and featured lefty reliever Brett Oberholtzer coming in as the long man after rookie Zach Eflin had been bombed out of his big league debut.
