NEW YORK — Bryson Stott had quite a day.

His second child, a son named Jaxson, was born at around 3:40 a.m on Wednesday morning, July 23. He “thinks” he got in multiple naps during the day before heading into his day – or night job.

The adrenaline kicked in for Stott 16 hours later. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in a 9-8 loss in 11 innings to the Boston Red Sox. It’s a positive step forward in what has been a brutal season at the plate for the Phillies second baseman.
