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.

2014 – It requires no less than two video reviews, but the Indians pull an unlikely triple play in the 4th inning of their 10 – 3 win over the Dodgers. With runners on the corners, Adrian Gonzalez slashes a pitch to left field; Michael Brantley runs in to make the catch and guns down Dee Gordon at the plate. Yasiel Puig then makes a late break for second base and appears to beat C Yan Gomes’s throw to 2B Jason Kipnis.
