The Los Angeles Dodgers faced their first defeat of the 2025 season, falling 3-2 to the Philadelphia Phillies, who are off to a strong start. A standout performance from Jesús Luzardo, who pitched 7 innings with 8 strikeouts and an ERA of 1.50, led the Phillies to victory. Meanwhile, the Dodgers, despite an impressive run, managed to score two late runs with Tommy Edman's home run and Will Smith's walk, but couldn't capitalize on a late opportunity against Jordan Romano.

Key plays included J.T. Realmuto's outstanding defensive skills, which thwarted two potential scoring chances for the Dodgers, marking him as a pivotal player in the game. The Dodgers had previously achieved an 8-0 start, aiming to break the franchise record for the best start to a season, but fell short against a resilient Phillies team.
