The mission for the Dodgers today was to not get swept by the Phillies, and they failed in a 5-1 loss. Worse yet, they had their chances and continued to blow them at every turn and continued to make defensive mistakes.
Anthony Banda served as the opener today, and he gave up a Trea Turner homer in the 1st to put them in an early 1-0 hole. Victimized by a single and error after, he worked around that.
Then it was Landon Knack's turn, who got off to a rocky start by allowing a Brandon Marsh homer to make the deficit 2-0, and then loading the bases with two outs after it. However, he proceeded to get 11 straight batters into the 6th inning.
The Dodgers' lineup at least started looking threatening against Aaron Nola. They rallied with two-outs in the 1st behind a walk and a single, and then loaded the bases with one out in the 2nd behind a double, walk, and single. Both of those chances went for nothing.
