PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Max Muncy<\/a> hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning, Tommy Edman<\/a> added to the Dodgers\u2019 lead with a bases-clearing triple in the eighth, and Los Angeles beat the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> 9-5 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Muncy\u2019s homer off Aaron Nola<\/a> (3-8) was his 229th with the Dodgers, moving him into fifth in franchise history. He has five other home runs, all with the Athletics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alec Bohm<\/a> hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Eric Lauer<\/a> (5-5), who ended up allowing three runs in 5 1\/3 innings. Lauer ended his night by striking out Bryce Harper<\/a> for the third time.<\/p>\n

Edman had three hits. Freddie Freeman<\/a> had two doubles and a single for the Dodgers, and catcher Dalton Rushing<\/a>, their No. 9 hitter, homered in the third and had a two-run double in the fifth.<\/p>\n

Outfielder Bryan De La Cruz<\/a>, playing in his first major league game of the season after the Phillies recalled him from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, led off the fifth with a homer to tie it at 3-all.<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani<\/a> went 0 for 3 with an intentional walk as the designated hitter. The Dodgers\u2019 two-way star, who is not pitching because of a sore left knee, threw a bullpen session before the game.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Dodgers: After a trip to the White House Thursday to celebrate their 2025 World Series championship, the Dodgers start a three-game series Friday at the New York Mets<\/a>. RHP Roki Sasaki<\/a> (3-5, 4.98 ERA) will face Mets LHP Sean Manaea<\/a> (2-5, 4.74).<\/p>\n

Phillies: Host the Yankees Friday night. LHP Jesus Luzardo<\/a> (9-4, 3.43) faces New York RHP Cam Schlittler<\/a> (9-6, 2.20).<\/p>\n
