The Los Angeles Dodgers will try to capitalize on their Game 1 momentum when they face the Philadelphia Phillies in NLDS Game 2 on Monday night. Teoscar Hernández’s three-run homer off Matt Strahm in the seventh inning proved the difference in a 5–3 Dodgers win, giving Los Angeles a 1–0 series lead. “I got gut punched on missing two pitches,” Strahm said after nearly escaping a jam before Hernández’s decisive swing.

The Phillies turn to Jesús Luzardo in Game 2, looking to even the series before it shifts to Los Angeles. Luzardo, making his first NLDS start, will face Blake Snell, who delivered six strong innings in his last outing. Offensively, Philadelphia will count on Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper to jump-start a lineup that managed just three runs in the opener.
