. Despite our solid pitching, the Dodgers capitalized on opportunities, stretching their lead in the fourth inning with another run from E. Hernandez.Phillies Struggle to Get on Base
The Phillies' offense had a hard time finding rhythm tonight. Bryson Stott and Harrison Bader managed to get hits, but unfortunately, we couldn’t convert those chances into runs. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper faced their fair share of challenges at the plate, struggling against some sharp Dodgers pitching.Dodgers Seal the Deal
In the eighth inning, Shohei Ohtani crushed another homer, extending the Dodgers' lead to 4-0. They added another run courtesy of a sacrifice fly from Tommy Edman, and just like that, the score was 5-0. The final inning saw some fight from Harper and Castellanos, but with runners on, we just couldn't bring anyone home.
