PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Phillies enter this weekend’s series against the San Diego Padres one game out of the National League’s second Wild Card spot thanks to one grand swing from Bryce Harper that still has fans buzzing at Citizens Bank Park less than 24 hours later. Harper’s walk-off grand slam on Thursday night sent Phillies fans home happy and the internet into a frenzy.
It was the bottom of the ninth inning with the Phillies trailing 5-3 with one out when Harper hit a second-deck bomb to right field to secure a 7-5 win over the Chicago Cubs.
