Dodgers Seek Sweep of Phillies in High-Stakes NLDS Clash
8 Oct
Summary
- Dodgers hold 2-0 lead over Phillies in NLDS
- Game 3 set for Dodger Stadium on Wednesday
- Pitching matchup: Yamamoto (Dodgers) vs. Nola (Phillies)
As of October 9th, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in a commanding position in their National League Division Series matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers have taken the first two games of the best-of-five series, both of which came down to the wire in the bottom of the ninth inning.
In the series opener, the Dodgers rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win 5-3. They then nearly blew a 4-0 lead in Game 2 but held on to secure a 4-3 victory and take a 2-0 lead in the series.
The scene now shifts to Dodger Stadium, where the Dodgers will look to complete the sweep on Wednesday night. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who posted a 2.49 ERA during the regular season, will take the mound for the home team. The Phillies will counter with Aaron Nola, who struggled to a 6.01 ERA this year, though they may also use lefty Ranger Suarez in a piggyback role.
With the Dodgers just one win away from advancing to the National League Championship Series, the stakes are high for both teams as they battle it out in Game 3.
