May 29, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani (17) hits a home run against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Justin Wrobleski gave up one run on one hit over seven innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers increased their winning streak to six games with a 4-2 victory over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.
Wrobleski (7-2) recorded a career-high nine strikeouts with no walks on 88 pitches as he rebounded from a pair of losses in his past three starts.
Freddie Freeman hit a first-inning home run and Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith also went deep as the Dodgers won for the 13th time in their past 15 games.
Kyle Schwarber homered, but Zack Wheeler gave up four home runs as the Phillies saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Wheeler (4-1) permitted four runs on five hits over six innings while absorbing his first loss in seven starts this year. He fanned four and walked one.
The Dodgers were in complete control from the outset.
Freeman made it 1-0 in the opening inning on his eighth home run of the season and his fourth in the past nine games.
Muncy hit his 13th of the season in the second inning for a 2-0 lead.
Ohtani continued his power resurgence with a home run in the third, just his 10th of the season but his third in the past eight games.
Smith made it 4-0 in the fifth inning with his sixth of the season, giving Los Angeles 12 home runs over the past three games.
Wrobleski carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Schwarber hit a two-out home run, his major-league-leading 22nd.
The Philadelphia offense came to life in the eighth inning against Edgardo Henriquez. Brandon Marsh doubled with one out and Steward Berroa delivered a two-out RBI single in his Phillies debut, cutting the deficit to 4-2.
Schwarber came to the plate as the tying run but struck out against Alex Vesia.
Los Angeles’ Tanner Scott pitched a perfect ninth inning for his fifth save and first since May 14, finishing off a 2-hour, 3-minute game.

Athletics RHP Luis Severino exits after 1 inning with injury
May 29, 2026; West Sacramento, California, USA; Athletics pitcher Luis Severino (40) follows through on a pitch against the New York Yankees in the first inning at Sutter Health Park. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images Right-hander Luis Severino exited the Athletics’ Friday game against the New York Yankees in West Sacramento, Calif., before the top of the second inning due to an undisclosed injury.
Severino, 32, was warming up when he suddenly walked to the back of the mound and looked toward the dugout, prompting catcher Shea Langeliers to signal to the dugout. Severino left the game following a brief discussion with a trainer and manager Mark Kotsay.
He was replaced by left-hander Jose Suarez.
Severino was initially scheduled to start against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, but his start was pushed back. The initial reasoning was that the A’s wanted left-handers to start against the Mariners.
Severino gave up four runs — all unearned — in the first inning due to a throwing error by first baseman Nick Kurtz. Aaron Judge had an RBI single, and Paul Goldschmidt drilled a three-run homer.
Severino pitched for the Yankees from 2015-23, and the right-hander had been treated rudely by his former teammates entering Friday, compiling an 0-2 record and a 10.66 ERA in three starts. He is in his second season with the Athletics after spending 2024 with the New York Mets.
Through 12 starts this year, Severino has a 4.16 ERA.

Hurricanes finish off Canadiens in Game 5, will face Vegas in Stanley Cup Final
May 29, 2026; Raleigh, North Carolina, USA; Carolina Hurricanes left wing Eric Robinson (50) reacts after scoring an even strength goal against Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes (75) in game five of the Eastern Conference Final of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs during the first period during the first period at Lenovo Center. Mandatory Credit: James Guillory-Imagn Images Taylor Hall and Logan Stankoven each posted one-goal, two-assist performances to lead the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., that sends them to the Stanley Cup Final.
Jackson Blake and Seth Jarvis both scored once and added an assist, while Eric Robinson and Shayne Gostisbehere added singles for Carolina, which claimed the Eastern Conference finals in five games.
Goaltender Frederik Andersen made 23 saves.
The Hurricanes will face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, which begins on Tuesday in Raleigh. Vegas swept the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference finals.
The Golden Knights won the two meetings this season, both taking place in the opening month.
Cole Caufield replied for the Canadiens, who won the series opener but became overmatched by the more veteran Hurricanes as the series continued.
Goalie Jakub Dobes stopped 23 shots.
The Hurricanes have lost only one game en route to reaching the final for the first time since they won the Stanley Cup in 2006. They are the first team to start the playoffs with a 12-1 mark since the 1976 Canadiens.
Just like in Game 4, the hosts used a three-goal first period to springboard to victory.
Hall opened the scoring just past the midway point of the opening frame when he pounced on a rebound opportunity created by Stankoven’s rush to the net.
Stankoven doubled the lead six minutes later when he rifled a top-corner shot from the right faceoff dot for his team-leading ninth tally.
Robinson capped the dominant period by converting a breakaway chance at the 16:52 mark for his third goal of the series.
The Hurricanes did not let up after the intermission. Blake made it a four-goal edge at 7:19 of the second period when he buried a rebound after Stankoven was denied on a breakaway chance.
Gostisbehere’s power-play goal with 1:58 remaining in the middle frame — he slid home an opportunity from the doorstep — made it a 5-0 affair.
Caufield spoiled Andersen’s bid for a second consecutive shutout when he notched a power-play goal with 9:10 remaining in regulation.
Jarvis rounded out the scoring with an empty-net goal.
