Final Score: Phillies 8, Dodgers 3
LOS ANGELES — It’s tempting to say that this is what the Philadelphia Phillies envisioned after constructing one of the best on-paper lineups in the league — and one of the best in franchise history — this offseason.
But it’s not. This isn’t what they envisioned. What the Phillies’ lineup has done this weekend at Dodger Stadium has gone beyond any visions.
It started with 21 combined runs on Thursday and Friday, and it carried right over into Saturday, when the visitors cranked four home runs as part of an eight-run barrage that earned them their fourth straight win overall and their third in as many games against arguably the best team in baseball.
