Sosa’s Grand Slam Seals Wild Phillies Win | Philadelphia News

The Phillies pulled off a jaw-dropping comeback Friday night, winning 5-3 against the Angels thanks to Edmundo Sosa’s first-career grand slam in the ninth inning with the bases loaded. Just two batters before, Wade Meckler made an incredible diving catch to rob Bryson Stott of a potential three-run homer — a moment that could’ve sealed the game for LA. The Angels had taken an early 3-0 lead but couldn’t hold it, crumbling under pressure as their bullpen imploded. Andrew Painter battled through a shaky start to throw five hitless innings, while the Phillies’ win keeps them hot on the heels of the NL wild card race during their West Coast road trip.
