Playing the last-place Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, the Dodgers open the game with an inside-the-park homer by Chris Taylor and a conventional one by Justin Turner against rookie Nick Pivetta. However, the youngster settles down and in the 6th, Clayton Kershaw loads the bases with a pair of walks sandwiched around a bloop single by Freddy Galvis, before Aaron Altherr takes him deep for the first grand slam he has allowed in over 1,900 major league innings. Curtis Granderson adds a homer for the Dodgers in the 9th, but Hector Neris saves Philly’s 4 – 3 win.
