Philadelphia has officially moved on from the injured Ryan Ellis, sending his cap hit to San Jose in exchange for depth pieces and some breathing room.

The Phillies don't yet know if Harrison Bader will be a factor in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the worst-case scenario has been averted.

A questionable bullpen decision and wasted scoring chances cost the Phillies dearly in a 5–3 loss to the Dodgers, putting them in an early NLDS hole.

Bader ended up being a major postgame storyline, but for entirely different reasons than it appeared during the first half of the game.
