Dodgers Take Game 1 NLDS Lead Over Phillies Amid Key Injuries
The Los Angeles Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in their NLDS series against the Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-3 victory at Citizens Bank Park, overcoming early challenges including a three-run second inning by the Phillies. Teoscar Hernandez's late home run was pivotal in securing the Dodgers' win, which ended Philadelphia's home field advantage in the series. Despite this setback, Phillies players emphasized that the series is far from over, with the best-of-five format giving them multiple opportunities to recover. The Phillies face challenges with their starting rotation, notably missing Zack Wheeler, resulting in a reliance on left-handed pitchers, which has historically been less favorable for the Dodgers, who have struggled against left-handed pitching this season. The Dodgers, despite bullpen difficulties during the regular season, have implemented creative strategies to address these issues in the playoffs as they aim to become the first team in 25 years to defend a World Series title. Game 2 of the series is scheduled for Monday, providing the Phillies a chance to even the series on their home turf.
