UNDATED (AP) — The Dodgers have ended their first four-game losing streak since last August.
Gavin Lux atoned for an early fielding mistake with a walk-off, two-run double in the ninth inning as the Dodgers avoided a four-game sweep by the Phillies, 5-4. Cody Bellinger got a two-out triple off Corey Knebel and Chris Taylor walked before Lux drove them both home.
Lux made a two-out error on a routine grounder in the second inning, allowing the Phillies to score four unearned runs. Aaron Nola left with a 4-3 lead after throwing seven innings of four-hit ball
