Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm hit a two-out home run in the 10th inning that put his team ahead for good, lifting the Phillies to a win over the Atlanta Braves and forcing a decisive Game 3 in their National League Wild Card Series.
The home run capped a game in which the Phillies had to rally after an earlier gaffe, according to reports from the contest. Outfielder Bryce Harper was credited with helping set the stage for Bohm's eventual game-winning swing after rebounding from an earlier miscue during the game.
With the series now tied, the two teams will play a third and deciding game to determine which club advances to the next round of the National League playoffs.
The extra-innings win keeps Philadelphia's postseason alive after Atlanta had taken an earlier edge in the series. Both teams will now turn their attention to pitching matchups and roster decisions ahead of the deciding game.
Neither team has publicly commented beyond standard postgame remarks on strategy for the series finale, though both clubs are expected to deploy their strongest available arms given the elimination stakes of Game 3.
