“Whenever you make a splash for a high-caliber player, that means something,” Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber told reporters, according to MLB.com “Personally, I remember ‘16 when [the Cubs] traded for Aroldis Chapman. It just kind of lifted the spirits of everyone. And I feel like that’s going to be the same thing.”

Phillies fans were looking forward to seeing both when the team’s new closer, Jhoan Duran, would come on to pitch for the first time after being acquired in a July 30 trade with the Twins.

Jhoan Duran is a Phildelphia Phillie now. The former Twins closer, who comes with one of the most electrifying entrance sequences in baseball, got his first moment to soak it all in at Citizen's Bank Park on Friday night.
