Dodgers lose 10-7 to Phillies as Emmet Sheehan struggles

Emmet Sheehan made his first start after the All‑Star break for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but surrendered six runs over 5⅓ innings, including a solo home run by Philadelphia outfielder Brandon Marsh in the sixth. The Dodgers fell 10‑7 to the Phillies.

Mookie Betts provided the bright spot for Los Angeles, going 4‑for‑5 and hitting two solo home runs. The Phillies also added runs on a two‑run homer by Trea Turner and a three‑run blast later in the game. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted Sheehan’s inconsistency and said the team will continue to give him opportunities while seeking steadier pitching.

The loss came as the Dodgers cope with the recent removal of Shohei Ohtani from their rotation, highlighting the need for reliable depth among their starters.
