"The Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers began their final meeting of the 2025 regular season on Monday, with the visitors securing a hard-fought 6-5 victory in extra innings. With their win, the Phillies clinched the National League East division at the earliest point in franchise history. While the Dodgers dropped the series opener, the final two games still carry significant postseason implications."
"However, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts doesn't want his team focused on that in their final stretch of the season "We're going to try to win as many games as we can, and where it falls out is where it falls out," Roberts said. "I don't even think it matters for me to say how important it is or how not valuable. I kind of just want to win games and see how it all plays out.""
The Phillies won 6-5 in extra innings and clinched the National League East at the earliest point in franchise history. The Dodgers lost the opener but enter the final games with a two-game NL West lead and must keep winning to stay ahead of the San Diego Padres. Winning the remaining games also preserves any hope of overtaking the Phillies for the NL No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. The team will focus on winning each game individually rather than strategizing for potential postseason matchups or building scouting reports.
