Phillies’ Offense Detonates to Beat Dodgers in Game 3, Extend NLDS
Schwarber ended an 0-for-22 slump with two home runs, powering the Phillies to an 8-2 win that kept their postseason hopes alive, according to officials.
- On Oct. 8, 2025, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-2 at Dodger Stadium in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, staving off elimination and evening the series at 1-2.
- Amid criticism on Philadelphia airwaves, Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson started Aaron Nola instead of Ranger Suárez, and their combined seven innings limited the Dodgers to one run.
- Kyle Schwarber exploded from an 0-for-22 slump with two homers, including a 455-foot `Schwarbomb` that left his bat at 117.2 mph in Game 3 of the NLDS.

- Thursday's Game 4 at Dodger Stadium arrives after a quick turnaround as Cristopher Sánchez likely starts for the Phillies against Tyler Glasnow, despite potential absences of Nola and Suárez.
