LOS ANGELES -- Kyle Schwarber hit two home runs, including a mammoth shot to spark a three-run fourth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies stayed alive in the National League Division Series with an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
Aaron Nola and Ranger Suarez (1-0) combined to allow one run over seven innings and J.T. Realmuto added a home run as the Phillies rolled in Game 3 after the Dodgers won the first two games at Philadelphia.
Tommy Edman hit a home run for the defending champion Dodgers, while Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-5 and has one hit in 14 at-bats during the series with seven strikeouts. Los Angeles lost for the first time in five playoff games.
Game 4 in the best-of-five series is set for Thursday at Los Angeles.
Nola opened with a pair of scoreless innings before giving way to Suarez, who allowed Edman's home run on his first pitch.
Schwarber tied the game 1-1 with a 455-foot home run to lead off the fourth against Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Philadelphia scored twice more in the fourth when Bryce Harper came home on an Alec Bohm single and throwing error from center fielder Andy Pages, with Bohm scoring on a sacrifice fly from Brandon Marsh.
Schwarber opened the series 0-for-8 with five strikeouts before the home run.
Yamamoto (1-1) gave up three runs on six hits over four-plus innings.
The Dodgers turned to veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw trailing 3-1 as he wiggled out of trouble in the seventh inning before the Phillies unloaded for five runs in the eighth. Realmuto hit a leadoff homer and Schwarber added a two-run shot after a two-run single from Trea Turner.
Kershaw, who is set to retire following the playoffs after 18 seasons, allowed five runs (four earned) over two innings with three walks.
Suarez settled down to allow the one run on five hits over five innings with four strikeouts.
Edman added an RBI single for the Dodgers in the ninth before Ohtani flew out to right field to end the game.
