J.T. Realmuto hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper each hit home runs and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies clinched the National League East title with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.
Weston Wilson also hit a home run for the Phillies (90-61), while right-hander David Robertson escaped a bases-loaded jam with one out in the 10th to earn his first save as Philadelphia improved to 14-4 since Aug. 28. Jhoan Duran (7-6) earned the win.
After he gave up a single earned run over his last four starts, Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings.
In winning their second consecutive division title, the Phillies moved 5 1/2 games ahead of the Dodgers in the chase for the second-best record from an NL division winner and a bye through the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Max Muncy, Mookie Betts and Andy Pages hit home runs for the Dodgers (84-66), who lost to the Phillies for the third time in four games this season. Dodgers left-handers Anthony Banda, Jack Dreyer and Alex Vesia combined to give up four runs over 2 1/3 innings. Blake Treinen (1-5) was charged with the loss.

 

Los Angeles went with an opener in Banda in front of right-hander Emmet Sheehan but he gave up a first-inning home run to Schwarber, his NL-best 53rd of the season.
Betts hit the first of his two sacrifice flies in the third inning for a 1-1 tie.
The Dodgers jumped in front 3-1 in the fifth inning on a leadoff home run from Muncy, his 18th, and another sacrifice fly from Betts. The Phillies went up 4-3 in the seventh on an RBI single from Bryson Stott and a two-run homer from Wilson, his fifth, both against Dreyer.
Betts tied the score 4-4 with a home run in the seventh, his 19th and his fifth in 11 games.
Harper’s home run for a 5-4 lead, that came in the eighth inning, was his 27th of the season. Pages tied it in the ninth for the Dodgers against Duran with a one-out home run to left field, his 25th.
Robertson got Miguel Rojas to pop out and Muncy to ground out to end the game in his 16th appearance.
