Bryce Harper hit an inside-the-park home run, three Philadelphia teammates went deep and Aaron Nola pitched seven strong innings to lead the Phillies to a 10-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night in a matchup of teams leading the National League wild-card race.
Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa also homered for the Phillies, who moved 2 1/2 games ahead of the Giants in the wild-card standings.San Francisco began play 1 1/2 games ahead of three fourth-placed teams in the race for wild-card spots. Arizona, Cincinnati and Miami entered Monday chasing a playoff spot with 64-61 marks.
Harper electrified the crowd of 36,274 in the fifth inning. His drive off Sean Hjelle caromed hard off the wall in left-center. When center fielder Wade Meckler finally chased down the ball in right-center, he twice failed to pick it up before throwing it toward home. It likely would’ve taken a perfect toss and relay to nab the speedy Harper.
