The Philadelphia Phillies have struggled to maintain their leads so far this season, especially during this series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Despite a rally by the Phils in the bottom of the ninth, the team failed to capitalize and subsequently lost for their fifth straight game. They fall to two games under (.500).
A couple of injuries occurred within tonight's game for the Phillies. Hunter Pence appeared to jam his left wrist running into the wall in right field and Freddy Galvis injured his lower back during one of his at-bats early in the ballgame.
