The Philadelphia Phillies snatched a 4-3 victory from the jaws of defeat Sunday when an error by Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Max Muncy allowed two runs to score.
Los Angeles took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 10th inning when a Trea Turner single brought home Mookie Betts. But with runners on second and third in the bottom of the 10th, Muncy struggled to corral a routine ground ball from Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm that looked to be the final out of the game.
Muncy's misplay gave Garrett Stubbs and Roman Quinn enough time to race home for the winning runs.

Earlier in the bottom of the 10th, the Dodgers looked to be in great shape when third baseman Justin Turner tricked the Phillies' J.T. Realmuto into stepping off the base and getting tagged out.
