Dodgers Seek Sweep of Phillies in High-Stakes NLDS Clash

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.
