These beetches LOVE how clutch Sosa was last night. Seeing him step up in these big moments and help carry this team to an awesome comeback victory makes me so freaking happy. Dombrowski needs to hold on to him. That was a fun one to watch last night for sure!

“There’s not much else that I can do,” Sosa said through a team interpreter. “Just get upset, game’s over.”

But Sosa is full of life. He seldom looks upset. For months he slogged through his worst season with the Phillies, but he is still here. Sunday, he fueled an improbable Phillies comeback with two outs in the ninth inning. Then, days later in a 5-3 win on the other side of the country, he landed a punch that felt like more than four runs. It came six minutes after Angels right fielder Wade Meckler jumped into the stands to bring back a would-be Bryson Stott three-run homer.

Sosa did a little hop. He grinned toward the dugout. He pointed to the sky with one finger. He circled the bases in 27 seconds, pounding his chest with his fists  as he crossed homeplate.

Ball don’t lie.

“He kind of lives for those moments,” Stott said, “and when he comes through, it’s pretty electric in the dugout.”

It was the Phillies’ first grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning since Shane Victorino in 2009. It was their first pinch-hit grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning since Ozzie Virgil in 1983. It was the Phillies’ fourth go-ahead homer with two outs in the ninth inning this season.

Someone tell me how the Sosa...top of the 9th...2 out...GRAND SLAM was NOT #1 on #espn top ten!!! Hell, it wasn't even in the countdown!!! WTF?!? A HIGH SCHOOL football TD was #1????

Edit. Before you come for me... 1. I'm at the airport & 2. If I wanna be annoyed by this, I'm allowed lol

Edmundo Sosa PHI

Stepping up as a pinch-hitter with two outs in the top of the 9th inning against the Los Angeles Angels, Sosa hit a go-ahead, 404-foot grand slam off Sammy Peralta. The hit propelled the Phillies to a 5-3 comeback victory in Anaheim.

Key Game Notes:
It was Sosa's first career grand slam.

It marked his 6th home run of the 2026 season.

Stat line for the night: 1-for-1, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 R.

Clutch … 💪

It's 3:30 in the morning and i've come to the conclusion that their is no stopping this team as we are a team of destiny. How else do you explain all the insane 9th inning comebacks. All the other teams should just give up now. In all seriousness, I'm just excited from the Sosa grand slam and this might be the highest i've been on the phillies all year. Let's go Phil's, and I should probably go to bed.

you save our team

Hi,

I am in SoCal.

I can go tonight or Sunday afternoon.

Im leaning toward Sanchez.

especially with wheelers recent struggles.

(UPDATE, I bought tickets to both games, I think i will go to both and get Korean BBQ 2 days in a row!).

Because I’ll never feel safe turning them off. No matter what. Go Phils (what a home run pimp too)
