Daily News | Phillies win against the Braves thanks to Bryson Stott’s late home run
Bryson Stott pointed out to the bullpen, as is the Phillies’ custom when one of them hits a home run. But he might as well have pointed to the owners’ box. Or the general manager’s suite.Dave Dombrowski said as much Monday. A few hours before Stott’s big hit, a three-run homer against tough Atlanta Braves lefty A.J.
Stott’s shot turned around what had otherwise been a frustrating night for the Phillies’ hitters. They dinked and dunked Braves ace Max Fried for nine hits in six innings but scored only three runs. They were 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position when Stott stepped to the plate with two out in the eighth inning.
But the Phillies are 13-11 without Harper because they have been getting just enough offensively. Very often, it has been young players who have led the way. Stott, who entered with a .190 batting average but better peripheral numbers to leave the Phillies encouraged by his progress, worked the count full against Minter.
