Notes: Falter has pitched against the Marlins four times during his young career, though three of those were relief appearances. Toward the end of Tuesday’s Fish Stripes LIVE, Alex Carr of Sports Illustrated’s Inside the Phillies explained why he is fairly bullish on the improvements Falter has made this season.
