Dodgers’ Bullpen Lets Them Down Again in Extra-Inning Loss to Phillies
The Phillies secured their 11th division title in 12 seasons with a 90-61 record, overcoming bullpen struggles and rallying in extra innings to clinch the NL East.
- On Monday, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 in 10 innings to clinch the NL East, securing their second straight division crown.
- A late surge by the Phillies came after the Philadelphia Phillies rallied for four runs in the seventh and eighth and added another in the 10th, while the Dodgers bullpen surrendered multiple homers and key runs.
- Early and late power swings defined the night, with Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber's 53rd homer opening the scoring and Phillies No. 9 hitter Weston Wilson's two-run homer plus Phillies star outfielder Bryce Harper's solo shot producing go-ahead runs.
- The win improved the Phillies' postseason standing and Philadelphia Phillies hold the 2 seed, with a first-round bye possibly delaying their first playoff game until Saturday, Oct. 4, when Cristopher Sánchez starts against Shohei Ohtani.
- Looking at standings, the win places the Phillies in position to potentially host the NLCS after clinching their third straight 90-win season and earliest division clinch in franchise history.
