One Sentence Summary: A punchless Phillies offense came to life in the 10th and Cristopher Sanchez pitched seven solid innings in this 4-2, extra-inning win over the Angels.
What It Means: Unlike the prior night, I was too tired to see even a single pitch of this game. The Phillies go for a series sweep later this afternoon with the struggling Zack Wheeler on the mound.
What Happened: Brandon Marsh singled home Alec Bohm with the game's first run in the second, and the score stayed at 1-0 until the bottom of the eighth. It appeared as if it could be a 2-0 Phillies lead, but Bryce Harper was thrown out at home in the top of the eighth trying for a straight steal. It was the second base-running blunder and out of the inning as Trea Turner had been picked off earlier. In the bottom of the inning, Zach Neto connected for a solo home run off reliever Jonathan Bowlan, tying the score.

In the 10th, with one out and runners on second and third, Kyle Schwarber doubled on a ball that fell just in front of center fielder Mike Trout. Trea Turner then singled two more runners home, giving the Phillies a 4-1 lead. The Angels scored a run in the bottom of the 10th off Jhoan Duran, but he held on to earn the win, while pitching two innings of relief.
Featured Card: Sanchez crossed the 200 strikeout plateau for the second season in a row during this game. I'm still holding out hope for a second series of team-issued photo cards, and we'll find out when the Phillies return home on September 4th if it's going to happen or not.
