The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2, with Cristopher Sánchez delivering an impressive six-inning performance, allowing just one earned run and striking out two. Edmundo Sosa contributed significantly, going 2-for-4 with a solo homer and three RBIs, including a crucial two-run single that helped solidify the lead. The win was pivotal for the Phillies, not only clinching the season series against the Dodgers but also maintaining their position as the best team in the National League. A preliminary 5.3 magnitude earthquake occurred during the game but had minimal impact on the players and the crowd. Sánchez's strong outing improves his season record to 8-7, while the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw struggled, allowing one run over 4.2 innings. This victory marked a much-needed boost for the Phillies, who had been struggling since the All-Star break.
