Dodgers stay playoff perfect, take 2-0 NLDS lead

PHILADELPHIA -- Will Smith drove in two runs in support of Blake Snell, who tossed six masterful innings of one-hit baseball, and the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-3, in Game 2 of the NLDS Monday night at Citizens Bank Park.

With the win, the Dodgers improved to a perfect 4-0 in the postseason, and now own a 2-0 series lead headed into Wednesday's Game 3 in Los Angeles.

The Phillies, eliminated in the same round last season to the New York Mets, have now lost five of the past six postseason games. And in Monday's loss, the struggles continued for stars Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper.

"You'd like those guys to be swinging the bats," Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said of his top three hitters, who are now a combined 2-21 in this series. "But I do like what we're doing at the bottom part of the order. And Snell was good tonight, but I thought our at-bats were better. ... But you do have to have confidence that those guys will get it going."

Turner ended the game with a groundout in the ninth inning, when Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman saved a wild throw at first base.
