Phillies 4 Dodgers 1

Dodgers lose on top of the bad news that Brad Penny left the game after 2/3rd an inning with a strained muscle.

Carrara and Alvarez stepped in to keep the game close allowing only 1 run between them. Sanchez gave up 2 runs in the top of the ninth in 2 innings of work.

Dodgers finally broke through for one run in the bottom of the ninth but they were clearly dominated by superior pitching.

Fans are worried. If Penny is out then the pitching rotation is in a shambles. Also, CF Finley has been injured and hasn't seen much playing time. So far only Mayne and Choi have seen any regular playing time after giving up Roberts, Encarnacion, LoDuca, Mota and Martin.

The dog days of August are here. Will the Dodgers swoon or somehow hold it together?
