The Philadelphia Phillies staged a remarkable comeback on Thursday, sweeping a doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants with two thrilling walk-off victories.

In the nightcap, after trailing in the ninth, Kyle Schwarber delivered a game-tying double with two outs, forcing extra innings. Alec Bohm then proved clutch with both his glove and bat in the 10th inning, securing the 6-5 win and completing the sweep.
Earlier in the day, Schwarber also homered in the first inning of each game, setting an early tone. Trea Turner contributed with a leadoff home run in the second game, followed by Schwarber's 446-foot blast. The Giants briefly took a 5-4 lead in the ninth before the Phillies' late-game heroics took hold.
