The Phillies on Sunday wrapped up their four-game series against the Padres in chaotic fashion, winning 7-6 in an extra-inning battle.
In this match-up of star pitcher vs. star hitter, Harper prevailed by drilling a single to center to extend the game.
“I just love those situations. Two outs. Being down. Things like that. I think everybody knows we fight until the end. They talk about us being The Fightins’, right? This team has that next-man-up mentality and I thought this was a great series for that.” In the bottom of the inning, Brandon Marsh led off by trying to bunt “ghost runner” Bryson Stott to third. Sanchez popped out from behind of the plate to field the ball, tripped. . .and still managed to cut down Stott trying for third.
