Dodgers beat Phillies as Justin Wrobleski strikes out 9 and Los Angeles hits 4
homers
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Justin Wrobleski took a no-hitter into the sixth inning,
and the Los Angeles Dodgers got home runs from Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy,
Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith in a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on
Friday night.
Wrobleski (7-2) struck out a career-high nine against no walks in seven
innings. The 25-year-old left-hander struck out the side in the first ---
setting down big boppers Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper --- and
the fifth innings.
In the sixth, Schwarber homered 411 feet to dead-center with two outs for the
first hit and run off of Wrobleski in a rematch of last year's National League
Division Series. The Dodgers won 3-1 on the way to their second straight World
Series championship.
Tanner Scott retired the side in the ninth for his fifth save.
The NL West-leading Dodgers won their sixth in a row for the first time since
reeling off seven straight from April 26-May 3 last year.
Freeman hit an opposite-field shot on the first pitch from Zack Wheeler (4-1)
in the first. Muncy went deep in the second and Ohtani homered into the
Phillies' bullpen in right in the third. Smith made it 4-0 with his solo shot
in the fifth.
With retired three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw watching from the
front row, Wrobleski's only baserunner before Schwarber's homer came on an
error by right fielder Kyle Tucker in the fourth.
Turner was safe at first and advanced to second on Tucker's error. Tucker and
center fielder Andy Pages appeared to miscommunicate on Turner's ball to the
warning track. Wrobleski retired the next two batters to end the inning.
The Phillies' other run came on Steward Berroa's two-out single in the eighth
off reliever Edgardo Henriquez.
Up next
Phillies LHP Jess Luzardo (4-4, 4.38 ERA) starts Saturday against Dodgers RHP
Roki Sasaki (3-3, 4.93).
