PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies scored early on Saturday, putting up more runs in their first four innings than they’d scored over their past 42, but they didn’t score enough.
The Dodgers tacked on six more runs after the fourth inning, while the Phillies were shut out after the fourth. That, coupled with a shakier and shorter performance than normal from Aaron Nola, led to a 7-4 Phillies loss, their third loss in a row. They are now 18-22 and are third in the NL East.
Promising start for Nola ends in frustration
