LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bryce Harper homered at Dodger Stadium for the third straight game and finished with three hits and the Philadelphia Phillies went deep four times in an 8-3 victory over the reeling Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night.
Jean Segura, Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins also hit home runs off Dodgers starter Julio Urías (2-3). Philadelphia — which has has won four straight and five of its last six — looks for its first four-game sweep at Chavez Ravine since 1985 on Sunday.
Ranger Suárez (4-1) went a season-high seven innings and won for the third time in his last four starts.
Mookie Betts hit a solo shot for Los Angeles, who have dropped four straight for the first time since last June.
Harper hit a three-run shot to right field off Urías to extend the Phillies’ lead to 6-1 in the third inning. It is the eighth time in Harper’s career he has homered in at least three straight games and the first since August 2019.
He also had a double in the first inning for seven extra-base hits in the first three games. That tied him with Adrian Gonzalez for the most in a three-game span at Chavez Ravine. Gonzalez did his while playing for the Dodgers in 2015.
Harper is 14 for 23 with nine extra-base hits and nine RBIs during Philadelphia’s six-game road trip.
Segura extended his hitting streak to 11 games in the first inning with a three-run homer that barely got over the short fence in the left-field corner. Schwarber and Hoskins added solo shots in the fourth to extend the lead to 8-1.
The Dodgers responded in the bottom of the fourth on a two-run double down the right-field line by Cody Bellinger with the bases loaded.
