LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Phillies finally snapped their losing streak in their last series against Seattle, but couldn’t keep the winning going Monday night in Los Angeles.

Teoscar Hernández hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the third inning, Shohei Ohtani went deep in the eighth and the Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 on Monday night in a matchup of NL division leaders.

Tyler Glasnow (9-6) struck out nine and gave up three runs and four hits in six innings. The right-hander has notched a career-high 164 strikeouts on the season.

Glasnow retired the side in order four times, including getting Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper on swinging strikeouts in the first. “I felt a little out of whack,” Glasnow said. “The positive today for me was just ignore how I feel and just go and try and attack the zone.”

Harper struck out three times in all as the NL East-leading Phillies lost for the seventh time in eight games after taking a 2-0 lead with two outs in the second. Bryson Stott had a RBI infield single and then scored on a wild pitch by Glasnow.Gamethread 5/22: Dodgers at Phillies - The Good Phight

Freddie Freeman returned to the Dodgers’ lineup after missing eight games while tending to his ailing 3-year-old son. He was 1 for 4 and received a standing ovation before his first at-bat. Harper later greeted Freeman with a hug at first base.

“It was really cool to see people rally around Freddie and the Freeman family,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

Ohtani added, “It was very touching.”

The NL West-leading Dodgers rallied with four runs in the third. Andy Pages hit an RBI double in the left field corner and Ohtani tied it 2-2 with a sacrifice fly to the warning track in right for his 80th RBI of the season. Hernández followed with his 24th homer to left for a 4-2 lead off Aaron Nola (11-5).

Daniel Hudson pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his eighth save.

After Schwarber singled, Glasnow wasn’t able to put Harper away with two strikes in the sixth, and he doubled down the left field line. Schwarber scored on Alec Bohm’s RBI groundout, drawing the Phillies to 4-3.

Dodgers reliever Anthony Banda pitched a scoreless eighth, stranding Schwarber and Bohm.
