To say the Phillies’ offensive explosion this weekend in Los Angeles was unexpected is an understatement. Hitters pounded previously unhittable Dodger pitching and came within one strike of a clean, four-game sweep of the best team in baseball, a heart-breaking loss that partially soured an otherwise eye-opening series out west.
How unlikely was it?
Here is a great stat. 29% of the runs the @Dodgers have given up all season have come from the @Phillies the last 3 games. 71 runs in 29 games. And 29 runs in 3 games.
