The Dodgers established an early lead in the second inning with an RBI double from Alex Freeland, followed by a run-scoring single from Kyle Tucker in the next frame. Ryan Ward contributed his first major league home run in the fourth, with Freeland adding another solo shot.
Late in the game, Alex Call extended the lead with a two-run single, and sacrifice flies from Freddie Freeman, coupled with a long home run from Max Muncy, pushed the Dodgers' advantage to 9-0. The Phillies managed only a solo homer in the ninth.
