Blake Snell strikes out season-high 12, Shohei Ohtani hits 51st homer as
Dodgers beat Phillies 5-0

LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Blake Snell struck out a season-high 12 over seven
innings, Shohei Ohtani hit his 51st homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Freddie Freeman also homered for the Dodgers, who blew multiple-run leads in
losing 9-6 on Tuesday and 6-5 in 10 innings on Monday, when the Phillies
clinched the NL East title for the second straight year.
Snell (5-4) gave up two hits --- back-to-back, two-out singles to Bryson Stott
and Harrison Bader in the third --- and beat the Phillies for the first time in
his career.
Snell issued consecutive two-out walks that brought the tying run to the plate
in the seventh. Manager Dave Roberts visited the mound and reliever Alex Vesia
began jogging from the bullpen, but Roberts left Snell in.
Snell responded by getting rookie Otto Kemp on a swinging strike to end the
inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner let out a yell as the crowd of
50,859 erupted. He tossed a season-high 112 pitches, 69 for strikes.
Freeman homered leading off the second and Ben Rortvedt added an RBI single for
a 2-0 lead.
Andy Pages walked, stole second, took third on Phillies starter Jess Luzardo's
pickoff error and scored on Kik Hernndez's two-strike, two-out RBI single in
the fourth.
Luzardo (14-7) allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings. He struck out
six while throwing 106 pitches --- one off his season high.
Key moment After the Phillies struck for six homers in the first two games, their bats went silent. Kyle Schwarber, whose 53 homers are second most in the NL, and Bryce Harper were a combined 0 for 7. Schwarber struck out three times.
Key stats Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 22 games --- longest in the majors this season. Teammate Mookie Betts shared the mark until going 0 for 4. ... Luzardo had not given up a homer to a left-handed hitter this season until Freeman and Ohtani went deep.
Up next The Phillies visit Arizona on Friday and had not announced a starter. The D-backs start RHP Ryne Nelson (7-3, 3.34 ERA). Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (11-8, 2.66) starts Thursday against the visiting San Francisco Giants and RHP Logan Webb (14-10, 3.34). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
