Episode Notes

Last night, Rob Thomson elected to use Orion Kerkering in the 9th inning to pick up his first career MLB save, as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 5-2. Jordan Romano pitched the 7th inning, while Matt Strahm pitched the 8th inning before Thomson turned to Kerkering to close things out. Could the Phillies bullpen see a shift to Kerkering as the primary closer?
