Dodgers Edge Phillies 4-3 to Seize 2-0 NLDS Lead as Ninth-Inning Rally Falls Short

The series shifts to Los Angeles with the Dodgers one win from the NLCS.

Overview

  • Game 2 at Citizens Bank Park was scoreless through seven before Los Angeles broke through with four runs in the seventh after Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo exited.
  • Philadelphia trimmed a 4-1 deficit in the ninth with three straight hits, but a sacrifice bunt failed to advance the tying run to third.
  • With two outs and runners on the corners, Trea Turner grounded to second and Tommy Edman’s rushed throw came up short, which Freddie Freeman scooped to end the game.
  • Former President Joe Biden attended the game, drawing notice on social media given his past absence from sporting events during his presidency.
  • Game 3 is Wednesday at Dodger Stadium, and the series winner will face the Brewers or Cubs in the next round.
