Bryce Harper Demolishes Walk-Off Grand Slam to Cap Phillies' Comeback Over Cubs

Bryce Harper stepped to the plate with the Phillies trailing by two runs in the bottom of the ninth and absolutely annihilated a walk-off grand slam. The rightfielder's 25th homer of the season capped off a six-run inning as Philadelphia completed a three-game sweep of the Cubs with a 7–5 win.

The blast was the team's first walk-off grand slam hit while trailing since Ozzie Virgil on September 2, 1983, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs.

Cubs righthander Yu Darvish dominated through seven shutout innings, allowing four hits and striking out 10. Chicago held a 5–0 lead headed into the eighth inning.
