Wednesday’s sixth inning was already heading off the rails before Joe Kelly entered the game.
In what became a five-run disaster for the Dodgers, the right-handed reliever simply made the train wreck complete.
After leading by three runs early in the night, and one run entering the sixth inning Wednesday, the Dodgers came undone by a controversial umpire call, some sloppy high-leverage pitching from Kelly and, ultimately, a back-breaking three-run home run from Kyle Schwarber — the most important of his three home runs in the Philadelphia Phillies’ series-clinching 9-4 win at Dodger Stadium.
