The Los Angeles Dodgers will try to take their record-breaking run to 9 games on Friday when they kick off a blockbuster three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Ball Park.

The Dodgers became the only team in MLB’s history to win their first eight games coming off a World Series title after they rallied from 0-5 hole to beat the Atlanta Braves in Wednesday’s series finale. It took a collective effort to pull off this scintillating come-from-behind win. Tommy Edman belted a two-run blast in the 2nd inning to put the Dodgers on the board for the first time. Michael Conforto added another homer in the 4th, and Max Muncy tied the game with a two-run double in the 8th inning. Tied at 5-5 in the 9th inning, three-time MVP Shohei Ohtani delivered a jaw-dropping walk-off homer to cap an electrifying night at Dodger Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Phillies improved to 5-1 in the season with less drama as starter Taijuan Walker smothered the Colorado Rockies through six innings to lead his team to a surgical 3-1 win. Philadelphia had allowed three runs across three games vs. the Rockies, raising their ERA to 3.20.
