Recap: Kenley Jansen Gives Up 3 In 6-2 Loss To Phillies
The Dodgers finally made it to first place on Tuesday when they beat the Phillies 9-3! Unfortunately, they shared the spot with the Giants but first place is first place. The Giants beat the Marlins on Wednesday 1-0 so the Dodgers needed a win to stay tied with them. Unfortunately, they couldn’t pull it off.
Let’s take a look at the highlights!

The game would be extremely quiet up until the top of the 6th. Scott Kazmir would be pulled and replaced with Grant Dayton after giving up a single and a walk.
At exactly 100 pitches, Kazmir leaves the game. Two on, none out for Dayton.

Dayton would go on to give up a 3-run blast off the bat of Freddy Galvis.
