The Dodgers did little right in their 7-2 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday. At least the game finished in less than three hours as Chad Billingsley got the win for the Phillies, more than two years after his last win for the Dodgers.

He talked quite a bit after the game about what it was like facing his former team.

Brandon Beachy isn’t penciled in to start Saturday’s game against the Brewers, but at least he’s in the conversation. That’s good news for the 28-year-old pitcher.
