The final inning was nerve-wracking. The Dodgers showed some fight when Tommy Edman hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth, closing the gap to 3-2. But fear not, Phillies fans! Jordan Romano came in to relieve and ultimately secured our victory.A key moment was Mookie Betts getting on base but later being part of a dramatic double play that squashed the Dodgers’ momentum at the last moment as Max Muncy struck out swinging and Chris Taylor was caught stealing.
Our Phillies fought hard and held onto their lead, finishing with a 3-2 win against the Dodgers. This was a brilliant display of teamwork and resilience!
