Aaron Altherr Plays Hero In Walk-Off Victory
6 years agoAfter the bullpen coughed up a two-run lead in the ninth inning Monday night at Citizens Bank Park, the Philadelphia Phillies headed into extra innings against the St. Louis Cardinals. In the 10th, they went down a run, setting up a painfully disappointing defeat. In the bottom of the frame, however, Rhys Hoskins led off with a single. Sandwiched between two outs was a walk, putting two runners on with two outs for Aaron Altherr. Coming on after Nick Williams suffered a facial injury, Altherr drilled a game-winning double to left field. It was a moral-improving victory as the club avoided a major defeat.
