If last week's walk-off hit by Mark Loretta was the highlight of the season then tonight's defeat, at least on a personal level, clocks in as the lowest. The energy and effort exerted by the Dodgers was painfully clear; however, the dueling three run shots by the Phillies put the game out of reach from even the most resilient team. Buckets were working all night long, but the water simply came in too fast too often.
If there are any positives to take away from tonight's loss it was that the Dodgers, despite being down by three or more runs in three different situations, never threw in the the towel. The tying or go ahead run was sent to the plate six times in the final two innings. The effort was there, alas, it just wasn't meant to be.
We could sit and analyze tonight's game to no end, but with Game 2 just around the corner another batch of problems lies on the horizon.
