Phillies Carry Momentum Into Dodgers Series Under Interim Manager Mattingly
Philadelphia arrives in Los Angeles on a hot streak after a Padres sweep, with Don Mattingly stabilizing the club since replacing the previous manager.
The Phillies swept the Padres at Petco Park and now face the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Don Mattingly, the former Dodgers manager, took over as Philadelphia's interim manager after a slow start and has since led the team to 12 games over .500. The Dodgers sit 16 games over .500 and hold a 4.5-game lead in the NL West, making them a formidable opponent. The series carries added emotional weight for the Phillies following their NLDS Game 4 exit last October on a walk-off throwing error.
