2 costly decisions in Game 1 that put Phillies behind the 8-ball in NLDS

The Philadelphia Phillies made some costly decisions in their 5-3 NLDS Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. One team was going to head into a crucial Game 2 needing a win in the best-of-five Divisional Series, and after Saturday's loss that team is the Phillies. The worst part is that they were in command until Los Angeles cut a 3-0 deficit to 3-2 in the sixth inning.

Philadelphia will need to correct its mistakes and avoid losing both home games at Citizens Bank Park. The unthinkable may become reality for Phillies fans as they find themselves in a must-win situation in Game 2 on Monday.
