Its Monday, October 6 and the Dodgers (93-69) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (96-66) in Game 2 of their National League Division Series with the Dodgers having won Game 1 a couple days ago.

Down 4-1 entering the ninth, the Phillies rallied and got the tying run to third base, but the Dodgers hung on for the win.

In keeping with how the Dodgers have been operating lately, a gem by a starting pitcher was almost soiled by the bullpen. Two-time Cy Young award winner Blake Snell tossed six scoreless innings, punching out nine and allowing just one hit.

Orion Kerkering made a wild throw past home instead of tossing to first after mishandling Andy Pages’ bases-loaded comebacker with two outs in the 11th inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 to win their NL Division Series 3-1.

The Dodgers’ Blake Snell will square off against the Phillies’ Jesús Luzardo when the best-of-five series continues on Monday in Philadelphia.

The Dodgers lead the best-of-five series, 2-1, despite Ohtani’s lack of offense. He is 1 for 14 with seven strikeouts in the NLDS.

The Phillies (0-1) face the Los Angeles Dodgers (1-0) in Game 2 of the National League Divisional Series Monday night at Citizens Bank Park at 6:08 p.m. Standing in the quiet clubhouse after the Phillies’ Game 1 loss to the Dodgers, Harrison Bader was optimistic that he would be able to return for the rest of the National League Division Series.

Speaking of the players, outfielder Nick Castellanos, after the game, pushed back at fans who were booing the hometown team in the late innings. Via the Philadelphia Inquirer, Castellanos said:
