Los Angeles Dodgers closing pitcher Tanner Scott quickly shut down\u00a0the Philadelphia Phillies’\u00a0chances of a comeback in the ninth inning during Saturday’s contest.<\/p>\n

The Phillies entered the final inning down 3-1 to the Dodgers. Scott entered the game and took the mound to try to seal the Dodgers’ ninth win of the season, and he did just that in a pretty impressive manner.<\/p>\n

It only took Scott three total pitches to end the ninth inning and the game. His first pitch was thrown to Bryce Harper, who did hit a single to put himself on base. Alec Bohm was up next, and he hit a grounder off of Scott, which the Dodgers turned into a double play to get Harper out, too. Scott’s final pitch was to Max Kepler, who hit a ball to the outfield which was caught by Michael Conforto.<\/p>\n
