"They did not do that, as Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled through 4+ innings and the Dodger bats couldn't get anything going off and Ranger Suarez. The Dodgers were still only down by two when Clayton Kershaw came in for the seventh and struggled but escaped with a scoreless inning. Dave Roberts left Kershaw in for the eighth and he got absolutely lit up, allowing four earned (and one unearned run) and five hits to put the game out of reach."
"He did pitch in Game 1 of this series and wasn't exactly sharp despite throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings. He faced the minimum in the seventh inning, working around a leadoff single by getting Nick Castellanos to hit into a double play.

Dodgers failed to complete a sweep as Yoshinobu Yamamoto labored through 4+ innings and the offense could not solve Ranger Suarez. Clayton Kershaw escaped a tense seventh but was left in the eighth, surrendering four earned and one unearned run and five hits that put the game out of reach. Tanner Scott was not at the stadium due to a personal issue. The Phillies now have new life and will send their ace to try to return the series to Philadelphia. Tyler Glasnow makes his first postseason start amid a season marked by an 11.7 percent walk rate, injuries that limited him to 18 starts, and control concerns despite a 3.19 ERA and 106 strikeouts in 90 1/3 innings.
