The Philadelphia Phillies showed no mercy at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who entered the city riding an impressive 8-game winning streak that seemed unstoppable—until an MLB team finally managed to halt their momentum in dominant fashion. As expected, the crowd’s reaction at the end of the game was electric.
Fans shared overwhelmingly positive comments, praising the Phillies’ pitcher who played a pivotal role in securing the victory. Most of the memes circulating were light-hearted jabs aimed at the Dodgers.
To clinch the win, the Phillies needed a hero, and Jesús Luzardo stepped up to lead the team’s defense. He delivered a flawless performance, not allowing a single run. In his first season with Philadelphia, Luzardo has hit the ground running, holding the Dodgers in check for seven innings, allowing only 2 hits, issuing 2 walks, and striking out 8 batters.
It’s worth noting that before the game, Bryce Harper spoke boldly and confidently about the Dodgers and their winning streak as they arrived in Philadelphia. His words were a clear indication that the Phillies were more than ready to claim the victory.

Romano nearly cost the victory
After Luzardo exited the game, Jordan Romano took the mound to close things out and secure the win. However, the top of the 9th inning proved challenging for him when Tommy Edman hit a home run that put the Dodgers back in contention. Fortunately for Romano, he didn’t face harsh criticism on X or other social media platforms.
