NLDS Game 2 Summary
The Dodgers and Phillies held on Monday evening in a pitch duel in Citizens Bank Park.
Blake Snell and Jesus Luzardo exchanged scoreless innings, because the teams only combined two hits through the first six innings.
Snell got some problems in the bottom of the sixth, while he walked two batters to give the Phillies two and one out. However, he took Bryce Harper and got Alec Bohm ground, which put the finishing touches to six dominant innings.
Miguel Rojas made things close to the groundout and chose to tag the third base instead of first throwing.
He seemed to be injured by the play and was a pinch hit for his next battle. However, he would probably have been a pinch hit with a right-handed reliever on the hill and the silver bullet of the Dodgers in Max Muncy ready to be deployed.
Luzardo closed the Dodgers for six innings, but ran into problems in the first place in the seventh.
Teoscar Hernandez – who had one big hit after the other in his Dodgers – career after the season – hit a Leadoff – Single. Then Freddie Freeman doubled and La suddenly had two runners in a score position without outs.

The Phillies brought in right -handed Reliever Orion Church and he let Tommy Edman sprout. Then Kiké Hernandez broke his bat on an Infield dribbler, and Teoscar Hernandez sprinted home and just beat the tag to give La the first run of the game.
Muncy then squeezed hit and took a walk and brought Andy pages that came out. With the bases loaded and two out, Will Smith-Die broke the game again on the couch-the game open with a two-run single, so that the Dodgers’ lead expanded to 3-0.
The very first Slagman, Shohei Ohtani, tackled with its own RBI single, and the Boo birds were in Citizens Bank Park with LA with 4-0.
Emmet Sheehan illuminated Snell in the seventh and bounced back after his rough game card outing with a 1-2-3 inning. He came back for the eighth and got into trouble and gave up a triple and RBI single to bring the score to 4-1.
Sheehan remained in the game to face Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, and he both retired and sent La to the ninth with a 4-1 lead.
The Dodgers had two in the top of the ninth, but they stranded on a Shohei Ohtani -Strikeout. Then Blake Tinnen threw the bottom of the ninth and immediately got into trouble.
Three straight hits from the Phillies brought the lead to one and the Dodgers went to Alex Vesia to try to save the game.
De Phillies tried to bump the runner to the third base, and Max Muncy played him and threw it to Mookie Betts on third base to get the main runner in an incredible game.
Then the Phillies got a hit before a groundball started running on the corners with two out. Dave Roberts went to the Bullpen again and brought Roki Sasaki to get the final.
Sasaki did exactly that and got Turner in the ground to give the Dodgers a 2-0 NLDS lead.
