LOS ANGELES — And on the seventh day, the Dodgers wrested … victory from the jaws of a four-game sweep.
Down 4-2 in the eighth inning and down to their last strike twice in the ninth inning, the Dodgers rallied to pull out a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Gavin Lux’s redeeming two-run double, snapping a four-game losing streak that included the first three games of this series.
It was the third time in the series the Dodgers came back from multiple runs down in the eighth inning or later – but the first rally to produce a victory. Phillies relievers surrendered 11 runs over 13 2/3 innings during the series.
