Stott, Harper finish off sweep of struggling Angels in thrilling walk-off

Final Score: Phillies 9, Angels 7

In what will probably go down as one of the best Phillies wins of the last 10 years, rookie Bryson Stott secured a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels on a three-run walk-off shot while down to his final strike. Fellow Las Vegas native Bryce Harper tied it up in the eighth on a grand slam to the second deck in right field off the prized free-agent closer of the previous offseason, Raisel Iglesias.

While the Phillies (25-29) have a long way to go before they are squarely back in the playoff picture, a thrilling victory like this one should reinvigorate a ballclub that has been beaten down after suffering debilitating loss after debilitating loss.
