The Dodgers had one of their most exciting series against the Phillies. The four game series ended last night capping it off with a 3-1 win and a series sweep. Â The first game the Dodgers played Dodgers won the games 8-6, 4-3 (comeback), 7-6 (comeback) and 3-1. Â The Dodgers have caught up to the Diamondbacks and have managed to keep pace with them over these past few games. Â They are no in a tie with them and maybe if they keep their winning ways going they might be in first place all alone by the end of the week.
The two middle games of the series were by far the most nail biting games. Â In game two the Dodgers were down 3-1 after six innings and were able to mount a comeback at the end. Â The game ended when Martin scored on Andre Ethier’s walk-off single.
The third game in against the Phillies was even more impressive as the Dodgers were down 6-1 at one point in the game. Â Yet the Dodgers were able to chip away and tie the game in the eighth inning. Â The game ended in dramatic fashion as Nomar Garciaparra hit a walk-off home run.
In that game Brad Penny gave up two three run home runs to the Phillies and is now back on the DL with shoulder tendinitis.
Up next the Dodgers face another tough team in the Brewers who are also in a pennant race of their own. Â They will face the Brewers in a three game series at home followed by the last three game series at home against the Rockies. Â Then they hit the road for 10 games against the Phillies, Nationals and Arizona.
