Those four pitches were all splitters as Duran finished out a Phillies comeback victory over the Tigers to take the series opener -- and regain first place in the National League East. In one of the most electrifying games of the year, Duran stole the show in his debut.

Phillies skipper Rob Thomson gave Jhoan Duran a warm welcome to Philadelphia. Upon Duran being dealt to the Phillies, the star reliever ran into a problem — he and Thomson both share the same No. 59.
