Reliever Evan Phillips gave up two of the five total earned runs the Los Angeles Dodgers allowed to the Detroit Tigers in the bottom of the ninth inning on Saturday. The Dodgers held a 9-4 five-run lead over the Tigers heading into the bottom of the ninth inning.
Ricky Vanasco came in for the Dodgers to start the ninth inning but gave up three earned runs right away with zero outs, and was taken out of the game. Phillips came in for Vanasco to hold off the Tigers, who were trailing by just two runs at that point.
