Bullpen Woes Continue

Despite wins, the Phillies bullpen nearly blew leads in recent games, including a 3-run 8th vs STL and struggles in the Blue Jays series (extra-inning loss, shaky relief). Kerkering's ERA is 11.74 over his last 10 outings. Bowland got his first save but the pen remains fragile. The situation worsened with Caleb Kilian (acquired at deadline) going on the 15-day IL with an oblique strain, likely out for the season, further depleting bullpen depth.
