The Dodgers welcome the Phillies to town Monday for the start of a four-game series at Dodger Stadium. It will be the first look the Dodgers get at Gabe Kapler as a manager in the opposing dugout.
Kapler spent the previous three seasons working with Dodger minor leaguers as the director of player development. The 42-year-old was also a finalist for the Dodgers’ managerial opening after the 2015 season that ultimately went to Dave Roberts.
The Phillies arrive in Los Angeles with the third highest winning percentage (.580) in the National League, just a half-game out of first place in the NL East with a 29-21 record.
