Rafael Marchan hit a three-run home run in the ninth inning as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies kept pace in the chase for the best record in the National League by overcoming the Los Angeles Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani in a 9-6 victory on Tuesday.
Brandon Marsh and Max Kepler homered in a six-run sixth inning for the Phillies (91-61), who won despite Ohtani beginning the game with five hitless innings on the mound before adding his 50th home run of the season at the plate.
Cristopher Sanchez gave up four runs on seven hits over seven innings to give time for the Phillies to rally, one day after they clinched their second consecutive NL East title. Tanner Banks (6-2) pitched two-thirds of an inning to earn the win, and Jhoan Duran tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his 31st save of the year, his 15th with Philadelphia.
