Joe Ferguson hit a pair of two-run doubles and increased his league-leading RBI total to 41 as the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 9-3. After Bill Robinson homered for the Phillies in the second inning, Ferguson put the Dodgers ahead with his first double in the third. The catcher's second two-bagger accounted for two of the Dodgers' three runs in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
