Phillies Spoil Angels with Ninth-Inning Heroics

The Philadelphia Phillies spoiled a spectacular home run robbery with a go-ahead grand slam, defeating the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 in a dramatic ninth inning.

With the Angels leading 3-1 in the top of the ninth, Wade Meckler made one of the best catches you'll ever see, robbing Bryson Stott of a home run. However, the Angels couldn't get the final out, as Sammy Peralta walked J.T. Realmuto before pinch-hitter Edmundo Sosa launched a go-ahead grand slam to center field. The Phillies have now won 11 of their last 13 games. esporist.org
