LOS ANGELES — \u2014 Blake Snell<\/a> struck out a season-high 12 over seven innings, Shohei Ohtani<\/a> hit his 51st homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> beat the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> 5-0 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Freddie Freeman<\/a> also homered for the Dodgers, who blew multiple-run leads in losing 9-6<\/a> on Tuesday and 6-5 in 10 innings on Monday, when the Phillies clinched the NL East title<\/a> for the second straight year.<\/p>\n

Snell (5-4) gave up two hits \u2014 back-to-back, two-out singles to Bryson Stott<\/a> and Harrison Bader<\/a> in the third \u2014 and beat the Phillies for the first time in his career. <\/p>\n

Snell issued consecutive two-out walks that brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh. Manager Dave Roberts visited the mound and reliever Alex Vesia<\/a> began jogging from the bullpen, but Roberts left Snell in.<\/p>\n

Snell responded by getting rookie Otto Kemp<\/a> on a swinging strike to end the inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner let out a yell as the crowd of 50,859 erupted. He tossed a season-high 112 pitches, 69 for strikes.<\/p>\n

Freeman homered leading off the second and Ben Rortvedt<\/a> added an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Andy Pages<\/a> walked, stole second, took third on Phillies starter Jes\u00fas Luzardo\u2019s pickoff error and scored on Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez’s two-strike, two-out RBI single in the fourth. <\/p>\n

Luzardo (14-7) allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings. He struck out six while throwing 106 pitches \u2014 one off his season high.<\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

After the Phillies struck for six homers in the first two games, their bats went silent. Kyle Schwarber<\/a>, whose 53 homers are second most in the NL, and Bryce Harper<\/a> were a combined 0 for 7. Schwarber struck out three times.<\/p>\n

Key stats <\/p>\n

Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 22 games \u2014 longest in the majors this season. Teammate Mookie Betts<\/a> shared the mark until going 0 for 4. … Luzardo had not given up a homer to a left-handed hitter this season until Freeman and Ohtani went deep.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

The Phillies visit Arizona on Friday and had not announced a starter. The D-backs start RHP Ryne Nelson<\/a> (7-3, 3.34 ERA). Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> (11-8, 2.66) starts Thursday against the visiting San Francisco Giants<\/a> and RHP Logan Webb<\/a> (14-10, 3.34).<\/p>\n
