PHILADELPHIA—Bryce Harper put the Philadelphia Phillies ahead in the eighth inning with his 300th home run, but Brandon Drury capped a three-run ninth with a tiebreaking, two-run homer that lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 10–8 victory on Wednesday, August 30, that prevented a three-game sweep.

In a game with four lead changes, Los Angeles led 7–6 before Harper’s two-run homer in the eighth off Matt Moore (4–1). Harper and Moore were 1–2 among Baseball America’s top prospects in 2012.
