PHILADELPHIA -- If you awoke Tuesday night and thought you heard utilityman Enrique Hernandez was pitching for the Dodgers, it wasn't a dream. It was a nightmare.

For the second consecutive night, the Dodgers let a 4-1 lead get away, wasting home runs from both sides of the plate by switch-hitting catcher Yasmani Grandal and eight scoreless innings from the bullpen until Hernandez got the loss, ending a game that lasted five hours and 55 minutes.
