Phillies @ Dodgers September 17, 2025: Snell looks to avoid a sweep after back-to-back bullpen collapses
"The Dodgers (84-67) managed to lose another game last night via bullpen collapse as they dropped the second game of this series against the Phillies (91-61) by a score of 9-6. Shohei Ohtani threw five no-hit innings before the bullpen allowed nine earned runs while getting twelve outs. That's not the ratio of runs-to-outs that you're looking for, and Tanner Scott is the only Dodgers' reliever this series to have a clean inning."
"Pitiful performance from the relief staff who had been quite solid as of late. Blake Snell will be on the mound looking to avoid a sweep as the Dodgers attempt to hold onto the NL West, while Jesús Luzardo looks to lead the Phillies to the top seed in the NL. The offense has had encouraging performances this series against a tough Philly staff, putting up four earned runs against the likely runner up in Cristopher Sanchez,"
Dodgers bullpen collapsed, allowing nine earned runs while recording only twelve outs after Shohei Ohtani delivered five no-hit innings. Tanner Scott was the only reliever with a clean inning this series. The bullpen failure led to consecutive losses despite the offense scoring against Phillies' top starters and high-leverage right-handed relievers, producing four runs off Cristopher Sanchez and three off Ranger Suárez. Blake Snell will start to try to prevent a sweep while Jesús Luzardo starts for the Phillies. Tommy Edman moves to center, Teoscar Hernández to right, Miguel Rojas at second, and Ben Rortvedt starts despite Dalton Rushing's return.
