Daily News | Kyle Schwarber blasts Phillies to a win over the Dodgers, their sixth straight
were tied with the Dodgers, 4-4, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and it seemed like the game was about to go into extra innings.He promptly launched a Caleb Ferguson cutter 389 feet to right field to give the Phillies’ a 5-4 win over the Dodgers, their sixth straight. Schwarber has now hit 17 home runs this season , four of them coming in June.
Through the first six innings, however, Friday’s game was setting up to be a relatively unexciting Phillies win. The defense committed no errors, andmade a highlight-reel play. Ranger Suárez gave them six innings of one-run ball. The lineup was manufacturing runs. They were cruising. But in the seventh inning, the Phillies got a stark reminder of just who they were facing. Matt Strahm took the mound in relief of Suárez. He walked Miguel Vargas, struck out Miguel Rojas and Jonny Deluca, and allowed back-to-back home runs to Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.
In the span of two at-bats, the Phillies’ 4-1 lead had vanished. This series was always going to be a litmus test for them. Over their past two series, they had faced sub-.500 teams and won five straight games. But this weekend, they’re facing the 36-28 Dodgers, who rank fourth in baseball in OPS , second in home runs , and third in slugging percentage .
With the game now tied, 4-4, and a meeting with catcher J.T. Realmuto, Strahm fell into a 3-0 count before throwing four sinkers in the top right-hand corner of the zone. Will Smith hit the fourth for an inning-ending groundout.
