Philadelphia PhilliesvsLos Angeles Dodgers
PHI 1/LAD 9
Things to say
Dodgers beat the Phillies 9-1 at Dodger Stadium.
01
Yeah, Dodgers ran away with it, 9-1. Phillies never really showed up. Felt over by the fifth.
02
key player
LA's lineup just kept turning over. Heart of the order did the damage — Phillies pitching couldn't get into their stuff all night.
03
hot take
Philly manager went to the pen way too early and it snowballed. You can't bail on your starter down two in LA.
04
deep cut
Phillies are now 30-29, barely above .500, and they've been brutal on the road. Dodgers at 38-21, quietly running away with the West.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Philly can salvage one before they get out of LA — getaway day tomorrow.
The recap
Dodgers absolutely steamrolled the Phillies 9-1 at Chavez Ravine, and it wasn't even that close. Philly's starter couldn't find the zone early, the bullpen got called in way too soon, and once LA's heart of the order got going it was a track meet.
One of those games where you check the score in the fifth, see it's 7-0, and just put the dog walk on. Phillies drop to .500 while the Dodgers keep rolling at 38-21.
