Dodgers Beat Phillies as Justin Wrobleski Strikes Out 9 and Los Angeles Hits 4 Homers
Wrobleski allowed one hit and struck out nine as Los Angeles backed him with four solo homers and a roster shuffle.
- On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski struck out a career-high nine batters and allowed one hit over seven innings in a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
- After giving up 14 runs across his previous three starts, Wrobleski said 'everything felt like it was in sync again,' crediting increased fastball velocity for his turnaround.
- Wrobleski's four-seam fastball reached 97 mph multiple times, averaging more than 95 mph, while generating a 54% whiff rate as Philadelphia Phillies hitters whiffed 13 times on that pitch.
- Kyle Schwarber broke up the no-hitter with a 411-foot home run in the sixth inning—his major-league-leading 22nd of the season—while Tanner Scott secured the victory with a perfect ninth for his fifth save.
- Los Angeles' victory extended their winning streak to six consecutive games, part of a dominant stretch where the Dodgers have won 13 of their past 15 games and hit 12 home runs over three contests.
