Overview

  • Jesús Luzardo pitched seven shutout innings, allowing only two hits and striking out eight batters, leading the Phillies to victory.
  • The Dodgers' undefeated 8-0 start to the season, marked by strong offense, came to an end in Philadelphia.
  • Philadelphia capitalized on a Dodgers' error and scored additional runs in the seventh inning with contributions from Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh.
  • Tommy Edman's ninth-inning two-run homer gave the Dodgers hope, but their comeback fell short due to key defensive plays and a controversial overturned call at second base to end the game.
  • Shohei Ohtani's attempted steal in the eighth inning was thwarted by JT Realmuto, halting a potential Dodgers rally.
