PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies have been as tough as a cheap steak since the All-Star break. They may have the worst record in baseball, but in the second half, they've shown plenty of spunk.
Still, they found themselves facing long odds after the top of the first inning of their 10-8 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. It wasn't just that they were quickly down, 3-0. It was that they had to rally against Zack Greinke, who began the day with a baseball-leading 1.41 ERA, and who earlier this season pitched 45 2/3 innings without allowing a run.
