Blake Snell, Dodgers shut out Phillies in series finale

On September 17, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts left pitcher Blake Snell in during two consecutive two-out walks, trusting him despite bullpen concerns.
Blake Snell delivered a dominant start with seven innings, two hits allowed, and a season-high 12 strikeouts, while Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman added key home runs.
Snell completed his outing by throwing 112 pitches and finishing with a 95-mph fastball to strike out rookie Otto Kemp, while Ohtani reached base in a major-league-leading 22 consecutive games and launched his 51st home run.
The Dodgers maintained a two-game NL West lead but still face bullpen struggles they must address before October, while the Phillies aim to regain offensive form on upcoming road games.
