No Harper? No point: Dodgers 4, Phillies 1

Since Harper received his platelet-rich plasma injection on Sunday, the Phillies have lost 4 of 5. They have scored just eight runs across those five games. They are hitting just .202.
Tonight’s loss was not quite as pathetic as the two times the Phillies were shut out by the Padres, since the Phillies were facing Julio Urías and the excellent Dodgers bullpen, and because they did manage to score one run. That being said, it was still very, very frustrating.
