Some 48 hours after their latest crushing playoff loss, the Phillies attempt to regroup and achieve a split at Citizens Bank Park before heading out west.
It will be anything but simple against a customer as tough as Dodgers Game 2 starter Blake Snell.
The 32-year-old lefty has faced the Phillies eight times in his career. Four of the starts have been excellent, three have been scoreless and the Dodgers won the last two.
When Snell faced the Phillies on September 17, he authored as strong an outing against them as any pitcher in 2025: seven scoreless innings, two hits, 12 strikeouts.
