Philadelphia – Will Smith led two points to the support of Blake Snell, who launched six masterbinds of ball at once, and the Los Angeles Dodgers survived the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 in match 2 of the NLDS on Monday evening at the Citizens Bank Park.
With the victory, the Dodgers improved at 4-0 in the playoffs and have an advance in the 2-0 series before Wednesday match 3 in Los Angeles.
The Phillies, eliminated in the same round last season by New York dishes, have lost five of the last six games in playoffs. And in the defeat on Monday, the difficulties continued for the Stars Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper.
“You would like these guys to swing the bats,” said the manager of Philadelphia, Rob Thomson, about his three best strikers, who are a 2 for 21 combined in this series. “But I like what we do at the lower part of the order. And Snell was good tonight, but I thought our bats were better. … But you must have confidence that these guys will do.”
Turner finished the match with a clarification in the ninth round, when the Los Angeles player, the first goal, Freddie Freeman, saved a wild launch of the second goal Tommy Edman who would have at least scored the drawing race.
“Obviously, Tommy threw him into dirt, fortunately, I was able to catch it and stay on the basis,” said Freeman. “But it was a stressful round.”
Snell withdrew nine years before giving way to the Emper Sheehan, Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia and Roki Sasaki.
Shohei Ohtani delivered a simple RBI for his first safe blow in the series in a seventh row of four points, and the Dodgers took a 4-1 lead at the bottom of the ninth.
Nick Castellanos slipped the first one in the second goal, barely exchanging a label, for a double treine of two points which sent the crowd of Philadelphia to a frenzy and reduced the phillies deficit to 4-3. Vesia came to face Bryson Stott, who tried to advance Castellanos with a blow. But the third goal player Max Muncy rolled up and launched at the Copstart Mookie Betts, who sprinted to cover the bag in time to obtain Castellanos.
The twinge shotor, Harrison Bader, chose, and Max Kepler sinks into the choice of a field player who left the runners to the corners with two withdrawals just before Turner ends.
Dodgers can go to their 17th series of national league championships with a victory on Wednesday evening. A club that has used the list of injured this season 37 times for 2,585 days, according to Major League Baseball, is finally healthy and has to win only once in two games at home to win the series. The teams taking an advance of 2-0 in a series of five playoffs won 80 of the 90 times, including 54 scales.
