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.

Shohei Ohtani dazzled in five innings for the Dodgers, flirting with a no-hitter before a calculated exit to protect his health after Tommy John rehab. The bullpen collapse that followed cost L.A. a win, as Philadelphia surged to a 9-6 victory. Ohtani still crushed his 50th homer, underscoring elite two-way value even with an innings cap and bullpen volatility that fantasy managers must weigh in late-season lineups.

Phillies rally from a 4-0 hole to beat the Dodgers 9-6, trimming the season-series deficit and tightening their grip on a top NL seed. A late assault featuring Brandon Marsh and Max Kepler homers, plus Rafael Marchan’s clutch knock, turned the game. Ohtani dazzled early for LA with five hitless innings and a solo shot, but Philadelphia’s bats seized the moment after the sixth. The win drops Philly’s magic number to four as Luzardo-Snell looms in a pivotal next matchup.

Dodgers starter Cristopher Sanchez was chased after two early homers, yet rode through seven, while the bullpen unravelled in the sixth. The scene shifts to a final twist in the series with upcoming showdowns against Luzardo and Snell.

Fantasy angles swing wide: Philly’s power duo Marsh and Kepler hot-streaking, the catcher Marchan delivering a season-saving hit, and Ohtani’s nightcap of hits highlighting a pitchers’ duel that tilted late. Teams jockey for position as the calendar turns toward October.
