The Dodgers collected their 40th win of the season and a series win against the Phillies with a 4-3 walk-off victory on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium to open the month of June. They’ve now won four straight and eight of nine. The defense had a bad night making it a closer contest than it should have been, and the bullpen nearly ruined a solid Clayton Kershaw start. Will Smith saved us all from another extra-inning marathon by hitting his first major-league home run at the perfect moment.

The Dodgers had the bases loaded in the 2nd inning after opener Jose Alvarez walked Corey Seager and allowed a base hit to Alex Verdugo.
