LOS ANGELES — Cristopher Sánchez pitched six strong innings, Edmundo Sosa and Kyle Schwarber homered back-to-back in the ninth and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2. A preliminary magnitude 5.3 earthquake struck in the middle of the seventh inning. There was no discernible reaction from the crowd, although it was felt in the Dodger Stadium press box. The Dodgers had their three-game winning streak snapped and their NL West lead dwindled to four games. Clayton Kershaw took the loss in his third start of the season, getting knocked out in the fifth by Schwarber's two-out RBI single.
