On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers beat the Phillies in Philadelphia in the first two games of the National League Division Series, and head home up 2-0 in the best-of-five series.

Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell continued the Dodgers’ hot starting pitching run, the Dodgers offense took the lead in the seventh inning in each game. They escaped a squirrelly ninth inning in Game 2 thanks in large part to a well-executed wheel play on a bunt that helped neutralize the Phillies rally.

Plus a look at Dodgers bullpen usage so far (lots of starters in relief), Teoscar Hernández having a hot start at the plate this postseason, updates on Will Smith and Miguel Rojas, plus looking ahead to Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Aaron Nola in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium.

The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore.
