Recap: Phillies Clinch Tiebreaker Over Dodgers In Chase For 2nd Seed In NL
"Despite the poor outcome in this one for the Dodgers, things were going great early in the game. Alex Call started off the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run, and they added on two more runs when Kiké Hernández homered following a single from Andy Pages. Hernández also drove in his third run of the game with a sacrifice fly that brought home Tommy Edman,"
"Justin Wrobleski took over, and things immediately went sideways. Wrobleski allowed three straight singles to load the bases, and Bryce Harper drove in two runs with a double to cut the Dodgers' lead in half. Brandon Marsh then slugged a three-run homer that put the Phillies up 5-4 and ended Wrobleski's night. Edgardo Henriquez took over and got them out of the inning, but not before allowing a solo home run to Max Kepler."
Shohei Ohtani delivered five shutout innings, striking out five and walking one while throwing 68 pitches before being removed as planned. The Dodgers scored early with a second-inning solo homer by Alex Call and a two-run shot by Kiké Hernández, plus a sacrifice fly that produced a fourth run. The bullpen collapsed in the sixth when Justin Wrobleski allowed multiple baserunners and five runs charged, including a three-run homer by Brandon Marsh and a double by Bryce Harper; Edgardo Henriquez surrendered a solo homer to Max Kepler. Ohtani hit his 50th home run in the eighth, and a later rally briefly tied the game, but the Dodgers ultimately lost 9-6 to the Phillies.
