| To begin a 4 game series in their only trip to Philadelphia this year, the Dodgers have no trouble dispatching the Phillies today. The Phils really only have pitcher Vance Worley to blame. Worley, in his first start in almost a month after a stint on the DL, totally becomes unglued in the 6th inning. With two outs in the inning and trailing 2-0, Worley falls apart by allowing a single and three straight walks. The third walk, to opposing pitcher Clayton Kershaw, knocks a runner home. He struck out the final batter of that 6th, but then it gets worse. Worley begtins the 7th with a single (runner caught stealing), then a single, double, and intentional walk to load the bases. That brings in pitcher Chad Qualls, and his first pitch is ripped over the fence by A. J. Ellis for a grand slam homerun and puts the game out of reach. Six total runs charged to Worley, and Ellis has a 4 for 4 day while knocking in 5 runs. IRL, the Dodgers swept this four game series. For the Dodgers, it was their first series sweep in Philadelphia since a 3 game sweep in 1997, and the first four game sweep of the Phillies in Philly in almost 70 years, since 1946. They did sweep the Phils in a four game series in LA back in 2008. |
