"I think the starters pitched their tails off this series, And I thought we played a great series. We had a few bad innings, but in totality, I thought we played really good baseball. I thought the offense was fantastic. I thought the defense was great, and we just had a few bad innings that cost us a series. But I like our chances, if we play like this, against anyone."
"We needed to win this game. You get two great performances, and we don't win, as far as starting pitching. So getting another great performance, we needed to win this game, And our offense, just the way they're playing, it's really, really fun to watch. The situational hitting, the hitting behind runners, the two-strike at-bats. For me, it's a dream. I'm really impressed and proud the way these guys are playing baseball."
The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped two of three games to the Philadelphia Phillies despite outstanding starting pitching. Emmet Sheehan allowed one run on one hit with seven strikeouts and three walks over 5.2 innings. Shohei Ohtani threw five no-hit innings on 68 pitches. Blake Snell allowed two hits and struck out a season-high 12 across seven scoreless innings to secure a 5-0 win. Manager Dave Roberts praised the starting staff, offense and defense while noting a few bad innings cost the series. The victory preserved a two-game lead over the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers begin a four-game homestand versus the San Francisco Giants with Yoshinobu Yamamoto slated to start the opener.
