NBC SportsJhoan Duran hurled a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Phillies to record his sixth win of the season.

Duran was brought in to face the top of Philadelphia's lineup in a tie ballgame and managed to set down the trio of Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper on just 10 pitches (six strikes). The hard-throwing 26-year-old stopper hasn't been quite as dominant this year as the previous two seasons, especially from a run-prevention standpoint, but he's still managed to convert 15 of his 16 save opportunities and is up to six wins in relief already.

NBC SportsThe Twins will likely call up David Festa on Wednesday and use him as a bulk guy behind Steven Okert.

Okert will make his first start of the year Wednesday, but he'll likely only pitch the first and maybe not even that, if he can't retire Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper in the top third of the Phillies order. Festa figures to take over afterwards.

NBC SportsKyle Schwarber went 1-for-2 with two walks on Friday against the Athletics.

The Phillies drew plenty of walks off Hogan Harris, but couldn't get a hold of anything in this one. They didn't have a single extra-base hit and left Schwarber stranded multiple times. He's been on base in 14 of his last 15 games.

NBC SportsPhillies released 2B Whit Merrifield.

Merrifield had a resurgence with the Blue Jays last year. He hit .272 with 11 home runs and 26 stolen bases and even made the all-star game. Merrifield struggled mightily with the Phillies this year, failing to capitalize on stretches where the club was without Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber. Even after getting an $8 million contract it's no surprise that the team is moving on already. Merrifield hit .199 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 53 games with Philadelphia.

NBC SportsLandon Knack allowed three runs in 4 1/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Phillies on Monday.

Knack gave up six hits, walked one and struck out five. Knack had started in all seven of his appearances for the Dodgers this year, but Anthony Banda was used as an opener on Thursday. There was some logic to using Banda with left-handed hitters Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper due to bat in the first inning, but he allowed a solo home run to Trea Turner. Knack had a tough time with Brandon Marsh as he surrendered a solo home run to Marsh in the second inning and an RBI triple in the sixth inning. It's unclear how the Dodgers might use Knack in the second half of the season with pitchers that could return from the injured list and the trade deadline approaching.
