The Phillies’ playoff push hit a snag after a brutal West Coast trip, dropping two games to the Mariners while their offense went cold. But the real concern? Pitcher Orion Kerkering, whose shaky August ERA (over 5.5) and recent struggles—14 runs in 19 innings—are threatening the bullpen’s stability. He loaded the bases in Game 2 without giving up the run, but that’s on him. With the team counting on him as the bridge to the closer, getting Kerkering back on track is critical—or risk repeating past postseason collapses.
