The Dodgers came into today winners in four of their last five and seven of their last nine, with a golden opportunity to make it two straight series wins on the road against potential playoff competition. While they jumped out to an early advantage, just like yesterday the Phillies fought right back. The game went to 16th innings
——
Opposing starter Aaron Nola is like really good at throwing baseballs, so this was a tough matchup that the Dodgers offense was going to grind out, and that’s exactly what they did.
Joc Pederson slapped an oppo single to start the game in the 1st, and with two down a Yasmani Grandal pop-up seemed set to end the inning, but it dropped in for a single instead to put runners on the corners.
