By John Town
The Phillies will look to get one back from the Dodgers after they snapped their win streak Friday night. Here’s how you can watch Saturday’s game.
After winning six straight games, the Phillies lost to the Dodgers Friday night by a 5-3 score. Jerad Eickhoff had his first rough start of the season, giving up five runs in 5.2 innings. Freddy Galvis raised his hit streak to ten games and recorded two RBI, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Dodgers’ lead.
Saturday night’s game will be available on MLB Network for anyone who lives outside the Philadelphia or Los Angeles markets. Here is everything else you need to know about the game:

The game should be an intriguing pitcher’s duel with two starters off to strong starts this year. Eflin has given up just six hits in his first 12 innings at the major-league level this season. His 2.25 ERA is third-lowest on the Phils among pitchers with 10 or more innings.

McCarthy has also been strong so far this season. The 33-year old already has three wins through his first four starts with a 24.2% strikeout rate. His ERA is actually slightly lower than ace Clayton Kershaw’s, leading the team’s pitchers with 10 or more innings. Our own Mike Azzalina named McCarthy an “Opposition Roadblock” for this series.
Just two of Philadelphia’s hitters have faced McCarthy before. Galvis has three hits in three at-bats.
Michael Saunders has a .400 batting average against McCarthy.

Only a few of Los Angeles’ hitters have faced Eflin, but all that have at one hit against Eflin. Eflin’s last start in 2016 came against the Dodgers. He gave up seven runs in three innings. Afterward, Eflin went on the disabled list and eventually had surgery to alleviate his patellar tendinitis.
