The Phillies unlikely run through the tourney ran out of steam against the Dodgers.

Clayton Kershaw threw six shutout innings in the Dodger Stadium opener. and Justin Turner homered and scored twice for the Dodgers. Cameron Rupp homered off Pedro Baez and scored the other Phillies run off closer Kenley Jansen in the ninth. Kershaw allowed three hits and two walks.

The Dodgers tagged Jarad Eickhoff for five runs in the first inning of Game Two, with doubles by Corey Seager, Yasiel Puig, Yasmani Grandal and Joc Pederson. All five runs were unearned. Kenta Maeda allowed two runs in six innings for the win, and Ross Stripling worked three scoreless frames for the save.

The series moved to Philadelphia for Game Three, and the Dodgers again broke out big in the first inning with three runs off Aaron Nola, capped by a Puig homer. But the Phillies got solo homers in each of the first three innings off Hyun-Jin Ryu to even the score. After the Dodgers hit for Ryu, Sergio Romo entered, and the Phillies teed off on him for five runs, and the Dodgers could not catch up.

Game Four opened with another crooked number for the Dodgers, a three-spot hung on Vince Velasquez highlighted by back-to-back homers by Turner and Cody Bellinger. Bellinger hit a three-run homer in the second inning. That was all the runs the Dodgers got, but it was more than they needed. Brandon McCarthy went seven innings for the win, allowing one run on two hits.

Bellinger's ninth-inning two-run homer off Adam Morgan in Game Five broke a 2-2 tie and gave Jansen a lead to hold. Josh Field vultured the win after giving up a game-tying homer in the eighth to pinch-hitter Michael Saunders. Kershaw allowed one run in seven innings for the no-decision.
