Phillies To Use Joaquin Benoit As Closer 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Apr 11, 2017 1:03 pm

The Philadelphia Phillies are turning to Joaquin Benoit as closer "for the time being," according to Pete Mackanin.

Since the 2016 All-Star break, Jeanmar Gomez has surrendered 30 runs on 47 hits and 13 walks in 30 innings of work. He's managed a respectable 25 strikeouts and 47.7 percent ground-ball rate in that time, but he's also been tagged for five homers. His ERA over that span is 9.00.
