Philadelphia PhilliesvsLos Angeles Dodgers
PHI 4/LAD 3
Things to say
Phillies beat the Dodgers 4-3 at Dodger Stadium.
01
opener
Phillies snuck one out in LA, 4-3. Tight game the whole way. Dodgers just couldn't string anything together late.
02
key player
Philly's bats did just enough in the heart of the order to push four across against that Dodger staff.
03
hot take
Dodgers are 37-21 and still look beatable when the bullpen comes in early. That's the blueprint.
04
deep cut
Philly's now 30-28 and quietly playing better ball on the road than at home. Nobody's talking about it.
05
exit
Anyway, curious to see if the Phillies can steal the series tomorrow out west.
The recap
Phillies snuck out of Dodger Stadium with a 4-3 win, which is the kind of road grab that keeps a .500 club hanging around. Without a scoring summary it's hard to pin the hero, but Philly's bats found just enough against an LA staff that's been money at home all year.
Feels like a one-swing game, maybe a late knock that got into the gap or somebody leaving one over the plate in the seventh. Dodgers drop to 37-21 but they'll be fine, Phillies needed this one more.
