The game, which ended with the Dodgers winning 16-2, was thorough, unrelenting and humiliating.
The Dodgers checked into their hotel in Philadelphia at 4:30 a.m. Monday, hours late after needing 5 hours 40 minutes to beat the Boston Red Sox in 12 innings Sunday night into Monday morning. Players were encouraged to sleep in. Batting practice was canceled. The circumstances were not ideal, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts insisted his club would not succumb to them.
For three innings, the Dodgers played like a weary bunch. Their only baserunner was Kershaw, who reached on an error, and Zach Eflin was through the three innings on 40 pitches. On the other side, Kershaw, who flew to Philadelphia ahead of the team Sunday, entered the night leading the majors in fewest pitches per inning but labored through three innings.
Cody Bellinger hits one of his two home runs during the Dodgers' 16-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Turner doubled Verdugo home to put the Dodgers on the board. Two batters later, Muncy hit a slow dribbler to third baseman Maikel Franco. He charged it and tried making a barehanded play. He failed and Turner scored. Corey Seager walked and Enrique Hernandez delivered an RBI single.
