Finding a way: Phillies 4, Angels 2

Late rally seals Sanchez’s gem

Finding a way: Phillies 4, Angels 2

In a thrilling matchup at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Philadelphia Phillies edged out the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 in a rematch of their previous game. Cristopher Sanchez put on an impressive performance, allowing just two hits and a walk over seven innings, though he did not receive a decision.

The Phillies broke the deadlock in the second inning, thanks to a lead-off single by Alec Bohm, a walk by Bryson Stott, and an RBI-hit by Brandon Marsh. Sanchez, Johnson and co. maintained control for the remaining innings until Jonathan Bowlan answered with a solo home run by Zach Neto in the eighth.

Zach Neto answered back with a solo shot of his own, tying the game. Jhoan Duran came through in the clutch, preserving the tie and guiding the game into extra innings. Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner delivered in the extras, with Schwarber driving in a run and Turner adding two RBIs. Despite Duran's extra run allowing through a fielder's choice, the Phillies secured the win with two fly outs, setting up a chance for a sweep as Zack Wheeler takes on Yusei Kikuchi tomorrow.
