Brandon Drury capped a three-run ninth with a tiebreaking, two-run homer that lifted the Angels to a 10-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
For most of their history, the Angels have been beset by mediocrity and misfortune. The latest development with their two superstars only adds to the narrative.After Shohei Ohtani struck out, Drury lofted a fastball on the outside corner to the opposite field and over the wall in right for his 19th homer.
“It was crazy,” Drury said. “It felt like every time we scored they came back and scored too. But we kept fighting until the end and were able to pull out a win.”Advertisement “We thought with Kimbrel going out there it was pretty much over, but he just didn’t have it today,” Thomson said.Ohtani was 1 for 4 with an RBI and was 5 for 13 with three RBIs in the series. Hunter Renfroe had three hits and four RBIs for the Angels .
Philadelphia , which leads the NL wild-card race, trailed 5-3 before Trea Turner’s three-run homer in the sixth against Reynaldo López. Renfroe put the Angels ahead 7-6 with a two-run single in the eighth against Seranthony Dominguez.
