Philadelphia bolstered its bullpen by trading for the fireballer and sending Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait to the Twins. Both Abel and Tait are considered top 100 prospects on MLB.com, underscoring Minnesota's overall rebuilding strategy ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Duran could not have made a better first impression. He's retired all six batters he's faced, breaking Phillies records in the process.

The pitch was fouled off, but Duran struck out Greene to end the game on the following toss, a 102.5 mph heater that set a record as the Phillies’ fastest game-ending strikeout since the pitch tracking era began in 2008, according to MLB’s Sarah Langs. In the same at-bat against Greene, Duran also threw a 102.7 mph fastball.
