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.

Philadelphia outlasted the Dodgers 6-5 in 10 innings, with Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper delivering homers and Weston Wilson adding a clinching blast as the Phillies secured the NL East. The 90th win locks up home-field for October and ends the Mets’ postseason hopes, signaling a potential deep run on the strength of a repeat division title.

Schwarber’s 53 long balls and 128 RBIs anchor a lineup that also features Harper’s steady power. A deep pitching corps — Sanchez, Suarez, Luzardo and Wheeler — has produced a 3.81 ERA, top strikeout numbers, and limited walks, while a 51-24 home record at Citizens Bank Park fuels confidence headed into October. Philly’s pace puts them squarely in the NL MVP vs. Ohtani conversation and sets the stage for a postseason grind.
