Two innings later, the Mets scored four more runs, with Will Klein allowing a three-run homer of his own.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spoke about his bullpen\u2019s struggles after they allowed seven unanswered runs in Sunday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n
Emmet Sheehan had a solid start on the mound, throwing five innings of one-run baseball as the Dodgers took a 3-1 lead. The bullpen came in for the sixth inning, though, and LA lost control of the game.<\/p>\n
The first big hit of the afternoon came off of Evan Phillips, who relieved Jack Dreyer after the left-hander walked two batters. Tyrone Taylor hit a three-run homer off of Phillips after he entered the game, giving the Mets the lead. Phillips has struggled since his return from Tommy John surgery, allowing four home runs in 6.2 innings pitched.<\/p>\n
\u201cA couple of them have just been bad pitches. A couple have been poor pitch decisions,\u201d Phillips said<\/a>. \u201cI chalked today\u2019s up to a guy just put a good swing on a good pitch. I thought I executed well to a spot we had open for him. He just put a swing on it that put it over the fence. It would be nice if some of these barrels would be base hits or doubles, but they\u2019re going over the fence right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Two innings later, the Mets scored four more runs, with Will Klein allowing a three-run homer of his own.<\/p>\n
