New Phillies closer Jhoan Durán throws fastest pitch in park history in home shutout of Tigers

Baseball fans in Philadelphia have never seen anything quite like this. Jhoan Durán made his second appearance for the Phillies Sunday night since arriving via trade from the Minnesota Twins. He secured his second save in those two games. And he highlighted the 2-0 shutout over the Detroit Tigers with the fastest pitch in Citizen's Bank Park history. Durán threw a 103.3 mph fastball on a 2-2 count that All-Star Riley Greene fouled off to set the new park record. One pitch later, he threw a 102.5 mph fastball that struck Greene out as the fastest game-ending strikeout by a Phillies pitcher in the pitch tracking era that started in 2008. It also got Phillies fans on their feet. And those weren't the only records Durán set Sunday night. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Durán threw five pitches in the top of the ninth of 102.4 mph or faster. Each of them was faster than any pitch previously thrown by a Phillies pitcher in the 22-year history of the ballpark. The save capped a standout weekend for the Phillies in the aftermath of acquiring Durán as their bonafide new closer. They end the weekend with a half-game lead over the New York Mets atop the NL East thanks to winning two out of three against the fellow first-place Tigers. Durán closed out both wins. Durán lights up park with electric entrance For the second time in three nights, Phillies fans were treated to the rousing entrance that followed Durán from Minnesota, complete with daunting bell chimes, flames and a creepy digital spider that's a nod to his nickname, the Durantula. On Friday, Durán secured a 5-4 win with a 1-2-3 effort in the ninth. On Sunday, he entered the game in charge of a shutout after eight sensational innings from Cristopher Sanchez. He did not let Sanchez or Phillies fans down. Durán started the inning with a six-pitch groundout of pinch hitter Kerry Carpenter. He induced another groundout on his first pitch to Spencer Torkelson. He then threw five straight fastballs of 101-plus mph to Greene before his 103.3 mph laser ended the game. It was the exact kind of performance the Phillies envisioned when they acquired Durán. And it lowered his season-long ERA to a pristine 1.93. In a baseball postseason where the margins are slim, a strong closer can be difference between advancing and not. The Phillies are hoping that Durán turns out to be a difference maker when the stakes are at their highest.

Phillies' Jhoan Duran sets new Philadelphia fastball velocity record vs. Tigers

The Philadelphia Phillies' fanbase has already fallen in love with Jhoan Duran. It's easy to see why. The right-handed flamethrower is the answer to the Phillies' bullpen prayers. An area of the team that has struggled all season since Jose Alvarado was handed an 80-game suspension finally has a savior. Duran delivered on Sunday Night Baseball, closing out the AL Central-leading Tigers with a quick save. MORE: Cubs' Matthew Boyd has mastered the balk pickoff move His final matchup of the night set a record, too. In striking out Riley Greene, Duran unleashed a 103.3 mile per hour offering. It's the fastest ever thrown at Citizens Bank Park. And he threw the last pitch of the game at 102.5 miles per hour, the fastest for a strikeout by a Phillies pitcher. MORE: Red Sox leapfrog the Yankees in the standings for first time since March Just like when Duran enters to his soon-to-be-popular entrance song, that heater shut the lights off and started the party. The Phillies are loving life with a dominant closer at the back of their bullpen already. It's not a guarantee of anything, of course. But the former Minnesota Twins stopper is now the man to slam the door shut for the Phillies. And if he keeps throwing 103 MPH, that door will keep getting slammed shut in a hurry.
