The Philadelphia Phillies (91-62) endured their eighth shutout loss of the year in their final regular season matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers (85-67), a season series which they took 4-2.
Blake Snell dominated, allowing only a pair of singles in the third and a pair of walks in the seventh, none of which came home to score.

Jesus Luzardo recovered well enough from some bumps and bruises in the second and fourth innings to make it into the eighth, but was pulled after a leadoff homer by Shohei Ohtani. Orion Kerkering allowed another run after a walk, single and sacrifice fly to finish the scoring.
