US EditionAngels’ Bullpen Unravels in 6th Inning of Loss to Phillies
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 20 – Kyle Schwarber hit his 32nd home run and first grand slam of the year while Bryce Harper added a two-run homer, helping the Phillies overcome a 4-3 deficit in the sixth inning.
- On Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park, Bryce Harper hit a two-run homer in the eighth, leading the Phillies to a 9-5 victory over the Angels.
- The Angels bullpen, illustrated by Fermin saying `I didn’t execute the pitches`, issued 11 walks in 17⅔ innings, contributing to their control issues in the sixth inning.
- Both Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber were caught off their bases and tagged out in a rundown, though Schwarber’s grand slam more than offset his early blunder.
- The Phillies extended their NL East lead to 1.5 games, while Harper now has 11 extra-base hits in his last six games.
- The Phillies will face Ranger Suarez against José Soriano in the Sunday series finale, and Harper’s recent performance has made re-signing likely.
