Phillies Spoil Angels' Ninth-Inning Drama

The Philadelphia Phillies overcame an unbelievable home run robbery by Wade Meckler and won on Edmundo Sosa's go-ahead grand slam in the ninth inning, defeating the Angels 5-3.

In one of the most dramatic innings of the season, the Philadelphia Phillies rallied against the Los Angeles Angels despite Wade Meckler's incredible home run robbery. With the Angels leading 3-1 in the ninth, Meckler leaped over the wall to rob Bryson Stott of what would have been a go-ahead home run. The Angels couldn't finish the job, however, as Sammy Peralta walked J.T. Realmuto before Sosa launched a grand slam to center field, giving the Phillies a 5-3 victory. saltysenoritaaz.org

Meanwhile, in Detroit, Tarik Skubal returned to his former team with a strong performance, striking out seven batters over six innings in the Dodgers' 2-1 win. The emotional return came after the Tigers traded Skubal to Los Angeles at the trade deadline.
