Phillies walk-off Astros 3-2 in extras

Updated:

By: Xaiver Aguiar

Despite being an out-of-league game at the end of August, the Astros and Phillies Monday night game had an evident postseason feel.

In the bottom of the 10th, Bryce Harper ($5,500; 16 FPTS) lined a sinker to right field to break the deadlock and walk it off for Philadelphia. It was another solid outing for the former MVP, reaching base four times in five at-bats.

Zach Wheeler ($9,600; 16.7 FPTS) was on the bump for the Phillies, navigated a high-pitch count early, and churned in a quality start. The right-hander tossed six full frames, allowing two earned runs and fanned six.

The Astros were able to muster little offense, with only the scorching Alex Bregman ($5,000; 6 FPTS) recording a multi-hit evening.

Despite stumbling a bit after the All-Star break, the Phillies remain a front-runner to win the World Series at +500.

The Massachusetts native was commenting on his sports video games by the time he could tie his shoes and fantasized about turning his favorite hobby into his future career. He might not have grown tall enough to be an elite stretch-five who could rock the rim, but this content-creating thing is a decent second option.
