The Phillies made mistakes that could have cost them the game, but they were bailed out by their hitters making sure the Dodgers couldn't complete a comeback.
There are worst places to be than a game under .500 and coming off a series win over one of baseball’s leading contenders. There are also better places to be, and maybe theare headed there after a 7-3 win over the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon that gave them their seventh victory in eight games.
These next four games against the Diamondbacks are the kind of series that the Phillies need to win before they can put their early-season struggles squarely in the rear-view. It’s going to take the things that it was always going to take: great starts from their rotation aces, shutdown innings from their relief aces, and big at-bats from the biggest batters in the lineup.The past couple of weeks have brought a mixed bag, and Sunday was no exception.
2) After blanking the Dodgers for five innings on Sunday, Walker has now given the Phillies 12 scoreless innings in his last two starts. The Phillies have now won nine of his 14 starts this season. That includes wins in four of his last five, a stretch in which he has limited opponents to six runs in 28 innings. He’s allowed just two home runs in those 28 innings after giving up 8 in his first 32 2/3 innings of the season.
