Phillies win series finale but worry over Caleb Kilian's injury

Summary

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 7-6 in 12 innings during their series finale on August 9, 2026. However, the victory came at a cost as reliever Caleb Kilian sustained an oblique injury while pitching in the 12th inning. Interim manager Don Mattingly indicated the injury did not look good, and Kilian may face a significant rehabilitation period, possibly heading to the 15-day injured list. The potential long absence adds pressure as the Phillies compete for a Wild Card spot in the National League.
