Since June 1, Phillips has been one of the most dominant setup men in baseball, as he's posted an 0.33 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB in 27 innings over a stretch of 28 appearances.

Phillips has emerged as one of the team's most reliable relievers this season, complementing his four victories with one save and 11 holds while posting a 1.70 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 42:11 K:BB over 37 innings.

Records first save Phillips earned the save over the Cardinals on Wednesday with a perfect inning that included one strikeout.

Impact The Dodgers were down big through six frames, but they posted seven runs over the final three innings to take the lead. Manager Dave Roberts had used closer Craig Kimbrel to cover the eighth inning, so the skipper turned to Phillips in the ninth. The right-hander came through by retiring all three batters he faced on seven pitches for his second career save. The successful outing continued a dominant stretch for Phillips -- since the start of May, he's allowed only one run over 26 innings while racking up two wins and 11 holds in addition to Wednesday's save. He's posted a 28:7 K:BB during that span.

Phillips has gone 16 straight outings without allowing an earned run, surrendering just seven hits while posting a 17:4 K:BB in 15.2 innings over that span. He's been one of the team's most effective relievers this season, recording a 1.60 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 10.4 K/9 while picking up three wins and 10 holds over 33 appearances overall.
