LOS ANGELES --- The start of a seven-game trip didn't go exactly the way the Philadelphia Phillies would have liked. They're hoping the second act produces a better result.
Two right-handers will square off Saturday when the Phillies face the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
The Phillies' Zach Eflin (0-2, 2.25 ERA) will oppose the Dodgers' Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 2.25) in the second of a three-game set.
On Friday, the Dodgers rallied from a two-run deficit for a 5-3 victory, ending the Phillies' six-game winning streak. They have had trouble with the Dodgers during the past two seasons, losing 10 of the 14 meetings.
