The Philadelphia Phillies have tied the series with the Los Angeles Dodgers as they enter Game 3. The Phils look to pick up a win after their outstanding performance on Tuesday night. Cristopher Sanchez has done it again for the team with six strong innings.
It's not the first time that Sanchez has helped his team win, but the offense played a vital role by smashing six runs. The Dodger squad was restricted to just two runs as the Phils portrayed sheer dominance. Tyler Phillips will be sent to the mound to help secure the series win.
Phillips has a 3-1 record with a 4.39 ERA. Phillips is a rookie pitcher with limited appearances on the mound. It's up to the offense to help them win. The bullpen will need to provide support too, and there is no way out unless their bats get hot.
The Dodgers couldn't do much, but Clayton Kershaw had a decent start compared to his last outings. The veteran pitched 4.2 innings, struck out five and surrendered only one run. However, the bullpen blew the game, and the offense failed to rack up more than two runs.
Gavin Stone will get the ball as their starter in Game 3. Stone is one of the top pitchers on the Dodgers rotation after his strong performance this season. He has a 9-5 record with a 3.63 ERA.
