Snell Fans 12, Ohtani Hits No. 51 as Dodgers Blank Phillies 5-0

The gem reinforced his postseason role, preserving a two-game NL West lead with the magic number at eight.

Overview

  • Blake Snell threw seven scoreless innings with a season-high 12 strikeouts and 112 pitches, allowing two hits in his best Dodgers outing to date.
  • With two on in the seventh, Snell persuaded Dave Roberts to keep him in and struck out Otto Kemp to end the frame as 50,859 at Dodger Stadium roared.
  • Freddie Freeman opened the scoring with a solo homer and Shohei Ohtani added his 51st in the eighth, while Ben Rortvedt and Kiké Hernández delivered RBI singles.
  • Jesús Luzardo worked seven-plus innings but allowed four runs and, for the first time this season, surrendered home runs to left-handed hitters in Freeman and Ohtani.
  • Alex Vesia and Tanner Scott recorded clean eighth and ninth innings to complete the shutout; Philadelphia managed three singles on the night and fanned 24 times against Dodgers starters over the series as its bye-clinch number held at four.
