St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies

Kyle Schwarber has done many memorable things during his career, but after sending a ball soaring into the Philly sky, the 12-year veteran wasn’t sure how to react. “It was shocked disbelief,” Schwarber said. “I didn’t know what to do there.” The answers turned out to be a helmet toss and a bat flip before he rounded the bases, finishing his lap where it began: at home plate. Only now, a throng of excited teammates were there to welcome him, sharing in a moment that capped an unbelievable 6-4 comeback win over the Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. The six-run ninth inning extended the Phillies’ winning streak to nine games. Philadelphia now heads to the West Coast for a nine-game trip to Seattle, Anaheim and Arizona, but Sunday’s memorable finish will make the six-hour flight a happy one. “We’re the Phillies; I can’t say I’m really surprised,” Edmundo Sosa said through a translator. “When we’re late in the game, we never stop fighting. It’s just a magical day.” Schwarber’s big blast wouldn’t have been possible without Sosa, whose two-out, two-strike double with the bases loaded cut the Cardinals’ lead to 4-3. Bryan De La Cruz followed with an RBI single -- the Phillies’ fourth two-strike hit of the inning -- to tie the game 4-4, bringing Schwarber to the plate. "You can talk about the resilience, the no quit, and that's why you play all the outs,” Schwarber said. “You're in it until you're not.”
