The Philadelphia Phillies experienced a whirlwind Sunday, highlighted by Jose Alvarado's suspension for testing positive for PEDs, a stellar debut by prospect Mick Abel, and a series sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Amidst this, Orion Kerkering's relief appearance drew scrutiny after a shaky outing. Following criticism from Devon Kaney of 94 WIP, teammate Matt Strahm backed Kerkering with a sarcastic response on social media, challenging the need for concern about his performance. Kerkering's recent struggles have raised questions, but his previous outings suggest he may still be a valuable asset.
