Watch: Phillies' Bryson Stott beats Angels with walk-off three-run homer

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports  |  By Larry Brown  |  Last updated 6/5/22

The Los Angeles Angels’ losing streak has reached full “Spinal Tap” mode.

The Angels blew leads of 5-2 in the seventh, 6-2 in the eighth and 7-6 in the ninth to lose 9-7 to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The loss was the Angels’ 11th straight.

Rookie Bryson Stott, who is hitting .159 this season, won the game for the Phillies with a thrilling walk-off home run off Jimmy Herget with two on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

That was just Stott’s second career home run, and it couldn’t have been better timed. That’s what you dream of.

The Phillies seem to be exorcising some of the demons from their infamous collapse against the Mets.

Not only did Stott have the walk-off three-run homer, but that came an inning after Bryce Harper tied the game with a grand slam.

What a shot.

The Phillies ended up sweeping the Angels, all after firing Joe Girardi as manager.
