Phillies End Dodgers' Winning Streak with 3-2 Victory

The Philadelphia Phillies ended the Los Angeles Dodgers' eight-game winning streak, the longest undefeated start by a defending World Series champion, with a 3-2 victory. Phillies' pitcher Jesús Luzardo was instrumental, delivering seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts, showcasing a fastball that reached 98 mph. Luzardo's performance follows a strong debut and marks an impressive start to his season after being acquired from the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one unearned run over six innings due to his own error, while Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto played a crucial role defensively, throwing out runners in critical moments. Despite a late two-run homer by Tommy Edman, the Phillies secured the win with a strike-him-out-throw-him-out double play to end the game. The victory was a significant early-season test for both teams, with the Phillies demonstrating their competitiveness against one of MLB's top lineups.
