The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to avoid being swept by the Philadelphia Phillies in Wednesday's series finale at Dodger Stadium.

Snell gave the Dodgers six shutout innings while allowing just two hits and two walks. He also struck out a season-high 11 batters. The only time the Rockies put a runner in scoring position was in the fourth inning with two outs, which was the result of a walk and a stolen base by Ezequiel Tovar. Other than that, Snell only allowed two singles and didn't allow them to advance.

The last Dodgers-Padres series was the biggest of the year, and now this one overtakes it. The series started off with a well-played, low-scoring affair thanks mainly to and Blake Snell dueling. Unfortunately, it was Snell who gave up one more run, and that was all the Padres needed, as the Dodgers weren't able to get anything going in the 2-1 loss.

Returning from injury, Blake Snell faced immediate trouble, giving up two early home runs in a 4-0 loss to the Rays, reflecting the challenges of a minor-league stadium.

Penrod was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers to create space on their 40-man roster for Blake Snell's return from the injured list.

"Roki's doing well. He worked over the All-Star break. Everything I hear has been positive. So hopefully we can keep building him up and face some hitters, and get him out there competing again."

The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Blake Snell to the 60-day injured list to activate Clayton Kershaw, who is returning after offseason surgery.
