Taijuan Walker the unsung hero of Saturday’s win

Cal Stevenson stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning on Saturday with a chance to tie the game. He did more than that, delivering a two-run double that carried the Phillies past the Mets.

Bryce Harper was a large reason why Stevenson had the chance to do that in the first place. He snapped a 30-day home run drought with two big flies.

Taijuan Walker is a large reason why either of those two performances mattered.

Walker came on in the fourth inning, in relief of Kolby Allard, with the Phillies down 4-0.
