Los Angeles Dodgers vs Philadelphia Phillies Box Score on Aug 11, 2021

Cody Bellinger homered twice and drove in four runs to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers past the host Philadelphia Phillies 8-2 on Wednesday.

AJ Pollock added three hits and an RBI, Matt Beaty contributed two hits with a run scored and starter David Price hit an RBI double for the Dodgers, who won their fourth in a row -- outscoring their opposition 26-7.

Price allowed five hits and two runs in four innings with one strikeout and one walk.

Brusdar Graterol (3-0) earned the win in relief.

Ronald Torreyes singled and knocked in two runs and Jean Segura had two hits for the Phillies, who dropped their second in a row following an eight-game winning streak. Didi Gregorius also had two hits.

J.T. Realmuto left the game after the first inning after being hit in the mask with two foul balls. He was replaced by Andrew Knapp.

Phillies starter Kyle Gibson was scratched shortly before the game, reportedly for strategic reasons with a second straight looking rain delay. Reliever Connor Brogdon took the mound.

Bellinger ripped a two-run homer after a 13-pitch at-bat and Price added an RBI double as the Dodgers went ahead 3-0 in the fourth.

The Phillies closed within 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth when Torreyes hit a two-run single.

The Dodgers placed runners on first and second with one out in the seventh and Seager hit a grounder to right which was scored an error on Alec Bohm for a 4-2 advantage. After a passed ball by Knapp, Max Muncy scored for a 5-2 lead.

Pollock added an RBI single to center off Archie Bradley and the lead ballooned to 6-2.

In the ninth, Bellinger hit a towering two-run homer to right off Mauricio Llovera for an 8-2 lead. It was the 13th career multi-homer game for Bellinger.
