Dodgers bullpen collapse costs them a 9-6 defeat to the Phillies after a sharp start from their rotation and a big late surge by Philadelphia. Ohtani carried the offense early and joined a select club with 50 homers in consecutive seasons, while the Dodgers briefly tied it before a six-run sixth swung the momentum to Philly. The comeback featured Harper’s hustle, Marsh’s key homer, and a late rally that extended LA’s home skid to five against the Phillies.

With Snell lined up to finish the series against Luzardo, LA looks foranswers as the Padres pace- chase tightens in the division. This game underscored the volatility of bullpen games and the big-picture arc of Ohtani’s power, delivering a fantasy-friendly jumble of power, control, and late-inning leverage for the rest of the season.

Trent Grisham turned in a career-high season pace with 30 homers and just nine doubles, a combo that places him in a historic club alongside Kingman, McGwire and Stanton. A single extra double would push him out of that elite group, underscoring a dramatic power surge that elevates his fantasy ceiling while keeping RBI potential and run scoring tied to lineup protection.

The power spike signals a genuine breakthrough rather than luck, reshaping how fantasy managers evaluate his upside and risk. Monitor stay-in-lineup, park effects, and his continued swing changes as the season unfolds to gauge whether this burst can be sustained.
