Victorino was one of seven people fined Monday for their conduct during the near-scuffle.

“My emotions obviously kind of got to me last night,” Victorino said. “But going into today’s game you turn the page and you forget about it. It was just going out there, trying to get a win and getting one step closer to the World Series. But it’s still far from over.”

It was appropriate the Phillies used the long ball to win. They hit an NL-leading 214 homers during the regular season and have nine in eight playoff games, good for 17 of their 35 runs.

Lidge, the Phillies’ sixth pitcher, earned his fifth postseason save in five chances — but it wasn’t easy.

A perfect 41-for-41 in save opportunities during the regular season, Lidge entered a game in the eighth in a save situation for the first time this year when he came in with two outs and nobody on. Ramirez greeted him with a double, and Russell Martin struck out but reached first on a wild pitch before James Loney flied out.

Lidge retired the side in order in the ninth, making the Phillies 85-0 when leading after eight innings this year, including six wins in the postseason.

“We didn’t need to talk about it because I knew that at some point, this would happen,” Lidge said of pitching in the eighth. “I’ve been ready for it all year. I’ve warmed up in the eighth inning before, but our bullpen’s been so good in the eighth inning and done the job, I haven’t had to do it this year. But I’ve done it a ton in the past.”

Dodgers manager Joe Torre said he wouldn’t have handled his bullpen any differently.

“We just didn’t get the job done,” he said. “Cory Wade’s numbers against left-handed hitters this year have been really good. He threw a breaking ball and it stayed up and Shane just knocked the hell out of it.”

Torre canceled the Dodgers’ workout on Tuesday.

“These guys are fighting their hearts out, and just I told them to be back here on Wednesday to be ready to play baseball,” he said. “We have to win the remaining games. We can only do it one at a time. I sense we’ll be back right here with the right attitude.”

Ramirez extended his record streak of getting at least one RBI in league championship series games to eight. He reached base in all five plate appearances on a single, double and three walks — two intentional.

It wasn’t good enough.

Notes: Orel Hershiser, one of the Dodgers’ stars in the 1988 World Series, threw out the ceremonial first pitch to son Jordan. ... Dodgers starter Derek Lowe, pitching on three days’ rest for the fifth time in his career, allowed six hits and two runs in five innings. Phillies starter Joe Blanton also went five innings, giving up seven hits and three runs. ... Casey Blake’s solo homer leading off the sixth off Chad Durbin gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead, and they scored another run later in the inning on first baseman Ryan Howard’s throwing error. The Dodgers had a chance to break the game open when they loaded the bases with one out, but second baseman Chase Utley speared Martin’s liner and turned it into a double play.
