Plouffe’s Homer In 16th Leads Phillies Over Dodgers

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Phillies’ relievers just kept shutting down the Dodgers, and Los Angeles finally ran out of pitchers.

Trevor Plouffe hit a three-run homer off outfielder Kike Hernandez with one out in the 16th inning as Philadelphia outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 Tuesday night in a game that lasted nearly six hours.

After using eight pitchers, the Dodgers turned to Hernandez (0-1) in the 16th. He got Nick Williams to fly out, then walked Jesmuel Valentin and Jorge Alfaro before Plouffe hit an opposite-field shot for his first homer of the season and second career walkoff, ending the game after 5:55.
