Los Angeles Angels outfielder Wade Meckler made a leaping catch to rob Bryson Stott of a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth inning, per reporting from multiple outlets. The play, described as "unreal" by Sportsnet, appeared to be a potential game-saver for the Angels.
The effort proved short-lived. According to Yahoo Sports, the Angels gave up a grand slam shortly after Meckler's robbery, leading to a Phillies victory. The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Angels 5–3, per multiple outlets. One account notes the Phillies sent nine men to the plate in the top of the ninth inning, with pitcher Andrew Painter's early struggles rectified by the late-game rally.
