PHILADELPHIA —
A torrential downpour rinsed starters Max Scherzer of the Dodgers and Aaron Nola of the Philadelphia Phillies out of the game in the fourth inning Tuesday night, leaving the bullpens to settle things in Citizens Bank Park.
What a relief that was for the Dodgers, who found the Phillies’ bullpen arms much more hospitable than Nola’s right arm in a 5-0 victory that snapped the eight-game win streak of their National League East-leading hosts.
After a 1-hour, 44-minute rain delay, the offensive floodgates cracked open enough for the Dodgers to cobble together five runs on 11 hits in the last five innings, with Corey Seager and Max Muncy hitting solo homers and AJ Pollock keying a three-run sixth with a two-run single.
