Shawn Kelley has given up six home runs and the Nationals bullpen has given up 21 home runs.
Dusty Baker said his team has to be patient with the process of fixing the bullpen considering teams are mostly still in contention and are unwilling to trade. They should have picked up a closer before the season, just sayin.
Odubel Herrera has had more than 50 plate appearances in five of the top eight spots in the Phillies batting order. Tonight he will bat third, where manager Pete Mackanin feels he is best suited.
