PHILADELPHIA—All-Star reliever Matt Strahm got superstar Shohei Ohtani to flail at an 83-mph slider for strike three and leave the potential tying runs on base in the seventh inning Wednesday night, July 10, as the Philadelphia Phillies hung on to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4–3.

The Los Angeles slugger nearly lost his helmet while making the pivotal out as Philadelphia won while again playing without standout first baseman Bryce Harper.
