While the victory was sweet, Phillies' fans hearts should be aching a little for this reliever.
Every Philadelphia Phillies fan from this era, no matter how many games they've seen, knows the name Jose Alvarado. The 6-foot-2 southpaw made his Major League debut in 2017. After a trade that sent him to Philadelphia in 2020, Alvarado has been a consistently clutch mainstay in the back of the bullpen, and his dominance will continue for at least one more year before potentially facing free agency in 2027.
