Edmundo Sosa hit a go-ahead two-run home run with two outs in the eighth inning as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
Bryce Harper added an RBI single in a three-run eighth, while Alec Bohm hit a second-inning home run for the Phillies. Orion Kerkering (3-0) gave up a run in the eighth and Jhoan Duran pitched the ninth for his 12th save.
The Phillies improved to 4-1 on a six-game West Coast road trip, while ending the Dodgers' season-best six-game winning streak.
Alex Call had an RBI single and a run scored for Los Angeles, while Santiago Espinal drove in a run in his return and Mookie Betts added a run-scoring single. Left-hander Tanner Scott (1-2) gave up all three Phillies runs in the eighth inning.
Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki gave up one run on three hits over 5 1/3 innings while Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo gave up two runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
The Phillies' only hit off Sasaki in the opening five innings came when Bohm hit a home run to center in the second for a 1-0 lead. It was his sixth of the season.
The Dodgers answered immediately in the second when Will Smith led off with a single, Miguel Rojas walked and Call singled to center to score Smith and tie the game.
Call doubled in the fourth and went to third base when Adolis Garcia bobbled the ball in right-center field. Espinal followed with his sacrifice fly.
Philadelphia had a prime scoring opportunity in the sixth when Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner singled with one out against Sasaki and Harper walked against left-hander Alex Vesia. Sosa struck out and Bohm grounded out to end the threat.
Los Angeles took a 3-1 lead in the seventh when Betts singled to right field to score Andy Pages.
