It’s probably not the worst idea in the world for the Phillies to give Romano a break since he’s been torched to the tune of a calamitous 8.23 ERA across 42 2/3 innings (49 appearances) this season in his Philadelphia debut. He won’t be trusted in high-leverage spots anytime soon and can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

The Phillies were already down 4-0 when Romano entered in the seventh tonight, so his poor outing probably didn’t cost them a win. What it did do is take his ERA back up to 7.24. He’s pitched a full inning in just one of his four appearances this month, and he’s given up runs the last two times he’s entered games with leads of one to three runs. His roster spot should be in danger.

Romano recorded the final two outs in the eighth to preserve a two-run lead for the Phillies. He returned for the ninth and put two runners on with one out before Patrick Bailey launched a ball that caromed off the top of the wall in right-center as he raced home for an inside-the-park home run to walk it off. Romano hasn’t recorded a save since May 29, with Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering mostly working in a committee for saves.

Romano had given up single runs in three straight appearances, taking losses twice, so he needed a rebound outing, even if he was rather unlucky in the losses. The easy inning tonight should keep him in line for save chances. It also doesn’t hurt his cause that Matt Strahm blew a one-run lead in the seventh tonight.

Not much to be done about this. Romano gave up 68- and 75-mph singles before Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was just looking to sacrifice, dropped down one of the greatest bunts you’ll ever see; it simply hugged the third-bast line before dying inches away from foul territory. Romano was able to strike out Oneil Cruz afterwards, but Nick Gonzales ended the game with a sac fly. Romano also took a loss on Wednesday, but we can’t see this hurting his standing in the Philadelphia pen.

Jeff Hoffman, who went the other way from Philadelphia to Toronto in the offseason, wound up with the win after getting the final out of the top of the ninth. Romano lost the game after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled and stole second base and Alejandro Kirk hit a long fly off the wall in right-center. It’s not great, but it’s also probably nothing that is going to get him expelled from the closer’s role.

How does one walk three and allow a hit and give up a run? Magic. The magic actually in this case was Ozzie Albies being thrown out trying to steal second base after his free pass. He did strike out two, however, including Eli White with the bases loaded to end the game and give him his eighth save. The adventures of Jordan Romano continue.

Romano had a big misstep Friday against the A’s, though since he gave up three runs in a four-run game, it wasn’t a blown save. That seemed to be an isolated incident, though, and this makes six hitless and scoreless innings in his last seven outings. He’s earned five saves and one hold during the span.

Romano now has five saves on the season and has been lights out in his last nine outings. With Jose Alvarado suspended for the next 80 games, Romano should be the primary closer in Philadelphia, and if he keeps pitching like he has lately, he’s gonna rack up a bunch of saves. Pounce on him now if somebody in your league dropped him after his blow-up outing earlier in the month.

The 32-year-old right-hander looked sharp in this one, getting Michael Busch on strikes to start the inning and then Dansby Swanson on a fly ball to left field. He then got Nico Hoerner on a comebacker to end the ballgame. He’s still buried on the depth chart for saves at the moment, but it’s nice to see Romano start to figure things out on the mound, throwing 10 of his 13 pitches for strikes on Sunday. He still sports a horrifying 12.19 ERA on the season.

Brought in to finish an 11-4 game, Romano was left in after surrendering a three-run homer to Dane Myers, only to give up an RBI double and a two-run homer afterwards. José Alvarado finally entered at that point and quickly got the final out with the score 11-10. Romano had pitched three straight scoreless innings coming into this one, and he actually had great velocity today, averaging 97.0 mph with his fastball. Still, his ERA stands at 15.26 through 7 2/3 innings, and he simply can’t be trusted in a close game right now.
