Starting pitcher was the name of the game in the National League Divisional Series game two between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Both starting pitchers were brilliant, going six innings and leaving the game in a scoreless tie.
Jesus Luzardo started the 7th inning in some trouble.
Mookie Betts singled and Teoscar Hernandez drew a walk in the first inning, and then the trouble did not hit until the 7th inning. Hernandez led off the seventh inning to break the streak. Freddie Freeman then doubled, and the Dodgers were finally in business.
