Phillies pitchers walked a batter or more in the sixth and eighth innings. The Dodgers scored 6 runs in those innings. In the six innings they didn't walk a Dodger, they scored a total of one run. Walks just kill pitchers.

Had ‘‘em all the way, Harry!

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies win the first game of four in LA. Great to start the series with a win.

Blowing a six run lead including that awful 8th inning from Alvarado just should not happen. Coming back to score 2 runs in the tops of the 9th is extremely encouraging. Knebel gets the save with about as bad an inning as possible without giving up the run. I just cannot feel good about two walks from our closer in a key game.

Somehow, the Phillies are now 3-1 on this west coast trip. Let's win at least two of the remaining three.

[Dusty]

Somehow, they won. Congrats

[Patchmk88]

I finally had to go to bed before we batted in the 9th. Glad to see we overcame Girardi to win this one.

[Austinfan]

You don't miss Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams?
Just adds some excitement to the game.

Think there's a reason all these veteran RPs were signed to one year deals.
SD and Morales are being seasoned for late inning roles.

[Philsmania]

This road trip was supposed to basically be the beginning of the end of our hopes for contention. Of course, they could drop the next three and still come home with a losing trip. But, so far, so good.

[andyb]

I think it is a hidden fact that the Phillies are probably a much better team against LHP, especially with Didi not playing. Camargo really hits lefties well and other than Schwarber we have a right-handed dominant lineup where multiple players are better against lefties and our best left-handed hitter hits lefties just fine.

Our team OPS is .751 against lefties and .729 against righties but now with Didi out it is probably even better against lefties.

This series will have the Phillies facing 3 lefties with Kershaw and Urias still to come. Obviously those 2 pitchers are better than Anderson yesterday, but this series might play into the Phillies' strengths.

[andyb]

Update - Kershaw on the IL so he is not starting tonight. Not sure who the replacement is yet. They are calling up old friend Garrett Cleavinger though he is probably not starting unless he is just opening.

[Patchmk88]

According to ESPN update, they are moving Buehler up a day

[bkeich]

Here is a statistically oddity for you:

In the 4th inning Alex Bohm hit a triple. In 640 at bats that was actually his first triple in the majors. Kinda odd, he isn't that slow.
