Dodgers Erase Phillies Sweep
Forget baseball, the Dodgers decided to fight fire with fire and came out to play hardball on Sunday evening and came away with 7-2 victory. That certainly wiped the smile from the Phillies faces in more ways than one. The play-offs are 1-2 the Phillies way with the Dodgers intent on squaring it up in the next match.
The Phillies have been playing hard ball in the first two games, using hard and fast balls designed to intimidate. The Dodgers came yesterday with Hiroki Kuroda pitching and from the first ball you knew he was aiming to fight back.
Both benches were warned for the intimidating tactics but that didn’t stop the benches and bullpens clearing to a good old fashioned first base brawl. No one was ejected but it certainly put some feeling back into the game.
The Phillies will go into game four full of confidence and ready to do battle. It’s not just the win that counts, it’s how they won. There is already plenty of talk surrounding their form reversal. Perhaps the real Dodgers have now stepped up to the plate.
