Overview

• Philadelphia trails the Dodgers 0-2 in the NLDS after dropping the first two games at Citizens Bank Park and faces elimination in Game 3.
• Bryce Harper said he loves playing at the Bank, noted he "boos" himself after bad at-bats, and emphasized fans spend their hard-earned money and expect greatness.
• Nick Castellanos told reporters the environment at home can turn against the team and make players play tighter when things go poorly, which drew backlash from fans.
• Harper is 1-for-7 in the series and 3-for-19 at Citizens Bank Park since the 2023 NLCS, while Sportsnaut notes the offense and bullpen have faltered, including a 2-for-21 line for Harper, Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber.
• Game 3 is set for Los Angeles with Aaron Nola slated to start in a do-or-die attempt to extend the series.
