Daily News | Bryce Harper, superhero, blasts the Phillies to the World Series
The best hitter on the planet right now launched a two-run, go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning that gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead over the Padres and left them three outs from their first World Series berth in 13 years.Thirty minutes later, they’d won the National League pennant and punched a ticket for a Friday night matchup against either the Astros or the Yankees. Either Phillies opponent will be favored. The Phils sneaked in with the No.
Harper has been channeling David Ortiz, circa 2004, all month, but he hasn’t been in many situations to come to the rescue. At least, not many. His teammates have done that; most recently, Rhys Hoskins and Jean Segura.Eighth inning. Down a run. Man on first. Team collapsing around him.“Must be the money!”
The Phillies’ leadoff batter had reached base four times in the first seven innings. He’d never scored. Absolve Hoskins. He’d made it 2-0 with his fourth homer in four games, a two-run blast in the third off Yu Darvish that gave Zack Wheeler the lead.Seranthony Domínguez replaced Wheeler with a man on first and none out in the seventh, and the misty rain that had fallen most of the game really started coming down.With the rain falling harder and the wind blowing a steady 10 mph with 25-mph gusts, Domínguez uncorked four uncatchable pitches in the inning and the Padres scored two runs.
