Recap: Blake Snell Convinces Dave Roberts To Remain In Game & Helps Lead Dodgers To Win Over Phillies
"Snell finished with a season-high 12 strikeouts over seven shutout innings. The outing tied for his longest of the season, matching the seven innings he threw against the San Diego Padres on Aug. 22 before going on the paternity list. Snell held the Phillies without a baserunner until Bryson Stott and Harrison Bader hit back-to-back singles with two outs in the third inning. Snell struck out Kyle Schwarber on an inside curveball to preserve the Dodgers' 2-0 lead."
"More two-out trouble surfaced in the seventh inning as the Phillies worked consecutive walks with Snell's pitch count crossing into triple digits. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emerged from the dugout after the second walk of the inning, but Snell successfully lobbied to remain in the game. Snell proceeded to strike out Weston Wilson on his 112th pitch of the night, which are the most he's thrown in a start this year."
