The Dodgers looked set for a great win in one of the best back-and-forth affairs of the season. But working in his third straight night, Evan Phillips wasn’t able to get the save, and instead, allowed three ninth-inning runs in a 9-7 loss to the Pirates.

The Dodgers' offense was down by multiple runs before it took its first at-bat, but held up its end of the bargain, scoring seven runs and taking three separate leads.

Phillips going for the 3rd straight was an issue because he so rarely does it.

The new baseball model of treating pitchers with kid gloves bites again.

Dodgers bullpen has been overworked the last month+. With all their injuries and struggling starters only going 3-5, the bullpen is bad. When they get rest and the starters go 6, they're much better.
