The Phillies played small ball because of the struggles of Bryce Harper and company. That wasn’t the only problem

The Phillies quietly packed the equipment bags in front of their lockers on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park. There was little to say.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers are now one win away from the NLCS. Both teams were victorious in NLDS Game 2s on Monday night as the Dodgers opened up a 2-0 lead against the Phillies and the Brewers powered past the Cubs.

The Dodgers withstood a late Phillies comeback to take a 2-0 lead in their National League Division Series on Monday night. Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a single and drove in what ended up being the game-deciding run to cap off a four-run seventh inning for Los Angeles.

Blake Snell gives up one hit over six innings and the Dodgers survive a late Philadelphia rally to defeat the Phillies 4-3 and take a 2-0 series lead.

Down three runs, the Phillies rallied to score twice in the ninth. Alec Bohm singled and J.T. Realmuto and Nick Castellanos each doubled off Blake Treinen - Castellanos luckily making it to second - to make it 4-3, but manager Rob Thomson killed the momentum by calling for a Bryson Stott bunt, which he bunted to third for a fielder’s choice.

In a postseason that has already featured multiple stellar pitching performances thus far, fans were treated to an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel for the first six innings in Game 2 of the NLDS in Philadelphia on Monday night.
