Blake Snell allowed one hit in six shutout innings, striking out nine, and the Los Angeles Dodgers barely turned back Philadelphia’s late rally for a 4-3 victory over the Phillies in Game 2 of their NL Division Series
PHILADELPHIA — Blake Snell had yielded to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen after a masterful start and was just a bystander when the Phillies — without any help from their All-Star trio at the top of the batting order — finally mustered a rally in the ninth inning.
A leadoff single. A two-run double. A headfirst slide — safe!
Phillies bats and a previously silenced crowd both finally rising to the occasion and their feet.
Through all the drama, Snell’s confidence in the playoff-tested Dodgers never wavered.
