Phillies Score Electrifying Walk-Off Win: Final Score, Key Highlights & What It Means for the Playoff Race

The Philadelphia Phillies couldn’t solve left-hander Blake Snell on Wednesday night, falling 5-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. Snell piled up a season-high 12 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, shrinking the latest Phillies score line to a string of zeros while pushing the Dodgers to an 84-67 record. Shohei Ohtani supplied the big blow in the third, blasting his 51st home run—a two-run shot that landed halfway up the right-field pavilion—to give L.A. all the offense it would need. Freddie Freeman added insurance with his 364th career homer, breaking a three-way tie with Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper for 88th on the all-time list. Harrison Bader recorded the Phillies’ lone extra-base hit, a sixth-inning double that briefly stirred hope before Snell punched out the next two hitters to preserve the shutout. Philadelphia’s starter Cristopher Sánchez matched zeros early but was chased after Ohtani’s blast and finished with three runs allowed over five innings. Key takeaways for fans tracking the latest Phillies score: • Philadelphia has now dropped two straight on its West Coast swing, missing a chance to gain ground in the NL Wild Card race. • The club went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, continuing a frustrating trend that has seen the lineup average just 2.4 runs over its last five games. • Manager Rob Thomson said postgame that rookie Orion Kerkering could be activated as soon as Friday, aiming to bolster a taxed bullpen. Up next: The Phillies conclude the three-game set against the Dodgers on Thursday night before heading to San Diego for a weekend series. Right-hander Zack Wheeler (13-6, 3.38 ERA) faces Dodgers rookie Gavin Stone (7-4, 3.91 ERA) in a matchup that could swing momentum as Philadelphia battles for postseason positioning.
