Dodgers lose 9-6 to Phils; the Halos drop their 5th game

THE DODGERS and Angels both lose.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their second game in a row on Tuesday night, but didn’t lose any of their lead in the National League West as the second place San Diego Padres lost a game as well.

After building an early 4-0 lead behind five innings of no-hit pitching by Shohei Ohtani, the Blue Crew (84-67) was shocked by a six-run sixth-inning rally by the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and went on to lose the game 9-6.

The Phils (91-61) finally won it on Rafael Marhan’s three-run homer in the top of the ninth.

Ohtani not only handcuffed the visitors, he hit his 50th home run of the season in the bottom of the eighth. Alex Hall hit his fifth home run of 2025, a solo shot in the second inning. He ended up with two RBIs.

The Los Angeles Angels (69-82) lost 9-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers on the road, suffering their fifth consecutive defeat and burying themselves deeper into fifth and last place in the American League West.

The sole bright spot for the Halos was a solo home run by Denzer Guzman.  The Angels totaled just three hits in the game.
