Phillies closer Jhoan Duran left Friday night's game against the Nationals on a cart after a comebacker struck him on the right foot, though manager Rob Thomson said the cart was used mostly as a precaution.

Duran, 27, was acquired from the Minnesota Twins prior to the July 31 trade deadline. He has been electric in his two weeks with the Phillies, throwing four scoreless innings with four strikeouts. For the season, Duran has a 1.86 ERA with 20 saves in 53 1/3 innings.
