LOS ANGELES - A night after falling victim to a dominant Clayton Kershaw, the Phillies ran into another buzz saw in Zack Greinke.
Greinke's incredible recent run of success reached a new apex Thursday night at Dodger Stadium, where the Los Angeles righthander allowed merely one hit over eight shutout innings. While lowering his major-league-best ERA, the former Cy Young Award winner sent the Phillies to San Francisco on the heels of a second consecutive shutout loss, 6-0. The Phillies are 30 games under .500.
Ryan Howard's single to left field to lead off the game's second inning proved the lone blemish to Greinke's spectacular night.
