This was Phillips' first save of the season. Tanner Scott didn't pitch Sunday, so it's at least somewhat notable that Phillips got the call, even though this was in a fairly low-pressure situation with a three-run lead. Phillips is on a seven-inning scoreless streak that began Aug. 21, while Scott has given up four runs over six innings in that same span. On the year, Phillips has pitched to a 3.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB while adding six holds and three blown saves over 20.2 innings. The Dodgers' bullpen has been a little unstable over the last month-plus, so there's a chance Phillips will factor into more save chances down the stretch.
