Blake Snell strikes out 12 in Dodgers win


Blake Snell struck out a season-high 12 over seven innings, Shohei Ohtani hit his 51st homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.

Freddie Freeman also homered for the Dodgers, who blew multiple-run leads in losing 9-6 on Tuesday and 6-5 in 10 innings on Monday, when the Phillies clinched the NL East title for the second straight year.

Snell (5-4) gave up two hits — back-to-back, two-out singles to Bryson Stott and Harrison Bader in the third — and beat the Phillies for the first time in his career.
