Four games against the National League West leading Dodgers seemed like a tough assignment. Through the first month-plus of the season, the Phillies’ offense has not been the powerhouse we hoped for, and a series against the Dodgers’ All-Star laden rotation didn’t figure to help.
But apparently the California climate agrees with the Phillies bats, because they have laid waste to the Dodgers’ pitching staff over the past three days.
On Saturday night, they faced Dodgers starter Julio Urias, who entered the game with a 2.10 ERA. He exited the game a bit higher after serving up four home runs.
