PHILADELPHIA—Brandon Marsh hit a home run and an RBI triple, Trea Turner launched his sixth longball in nine games, and the Philadelphia Phillies completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 5–1 victory Thursday night.

Aaron Nola (11–4) struck out nine in six innings, and Kyle Schwarber also went deep for the Phillies, who swept the Dodgers for the first time since 2011—and the first time in Philadelphia since 2008. Los Angeles has lost four straight games and eight of its past 12.
