Do we start the 8th with Kerkering against Acuna and then bring in Strahm for Olson? Does Rob have b#@$s that big?
1-2-3 scoreless inning from Kerkering in the books.
I would be shocked if Kimbrel doesn't pitch the ninth (unless the 8th goes bad and there is no bottom of the ninth) needed.
Yes, sweatting it out with my fellow Phillies phans.
