Its Monday, October 6 and the Dodgers (93-69) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (96-66) in Game 2 of their National League Division Series with the Dodgers having won Game 1 a couple days ago. Blake Snell is slated to take the mound for Los Angeles against Jesús Luzardo for Philadelphia. Snell pitched in the Wild Card round and was victorious while Luzardo has been idle for nearly two weeks (September 24).
Down 3-0 early, the Dodgers rallied for two runs in the sixth and three in the seventh to take the series opener. Teoscar Hernandez’ home run in the seventh was the decisive blow. Shohei Ohtani started Game 1 and went six innings allowing the three runs while striking out nine. The Philadelphia bullpen failed after Cristopher Sanchez allowed two runs over 5.2 innings with eight strikeouts.
