PHILADELPHIA – The Phillies have just enough time to head home, sleep for a few hours, guzzle a few cups of coffee, pack for a five-game road trip and head back to Citizens Bank Park to try and salvage a split Thursday afternoon against the Dodgers.

At least the Dodgers will be tired, too.

The Phillies’ 7-2 loss to the Dodgers started at 7:07 p.m. ET on Wednesday and ended at 1:42 a.m. Thursday because of a 2-hour, 37-minute rain delay. The actual game lasted 3 hours, 58 minutes. The Phillies picked up their first hit after midnight. They tied the game a short time later. But Dodgers first baseman David Freese’s two-run home run to right field in the seventh inning proved to be the game-winner. Justin Turner’s two-run, pinch-hit homer in the eighth provided the insurance.

“I don’t even think we have time to be disappointed,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said, referring to Thursday’s 12:35 p.m. start -- which can be seen live, for free, exclusively on YouTube. “We have to be back here pretty early in the morning and get ready to play the Dodgers, with [Aaron] Nola on the mound and a rested bullpen in terms of our guys that we’re leaning on in high-leverage innings, right?”

“It’s going to be quick,” Scott Kingery said about the turnaround.

The Phillies are 2-4 on their seven-game homestand. They are 49-47 overall, 8 1/2 games behind the Braves in the National League East and tied with the Cardinals and D-backs, a half-game behind the Brewers for the second NL Wild Card.

It has been an interesting week for the Phillies. After they lost their first two games of a three-game series to the Nationals on Friday and Saturday, Maikel Franco hit a walk-off homer to beat the Nationals on Sunday. The Dodgers crushed the Phillies in an embarrassing 16-2 loss on Monday. After Phillies closer Hector Neris blew a one-run lead in the ninth Tuesday, Bryce Harper ripped a double in the bottom of the ninth in a walk-off victory.

But the Phillies’ latest game was the least memorable, other than the length of the delay and the time the game ended. The Phillies walked 10 batters. They hit two with pitches. They got only two hits: Kingery’s bloop single to center field in the sixth inning and Adam Haseley's single to right-center in the ninth. Phillies right-hander Nick Pivetta walked the bases loaded in the first inning but allowed only one to score. The Dodgers had a runner on first and one out in the third, when a storm rolled through South Philly. The grounds crew snapped into action and pulled the tarp onto the field for the 157-minute rain delay.

The Phillies used five relievers to get through the rest of the game. The Dodgers also used five.

A smattering of fans remained until the end.

“We sat around maybe two hours?” Kingery said. “You’ve got to do the best you can to go out there and get it going again and get your body moving. We did a good job getting some runners on base in a couple innings.

“It’s always disappointing to lose. It was a tough night, it was a long night.”

The Phillies and Dodgers wrap up the four-game series Thursday. Nola (8-2, 3.63 ERA) faces Dodgers right-hander Ross Stripling (4-3, 3.65 ERA). Phillies shortstop Jean Segura is expected back in the lineup, which should help the Phillies’ offense. He missed the previous two games because of a bruised heel, although he made a pinch-hit appearance in the seventh inning Wednesday, recording a popout.

“We feel good about tomorrow,” Kapler said. “We’re anxious to get back to the ballpark and wipe away tonight.”
