ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Johan Rojas hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth inning moments after Nick Castellanos’ tying shot, sending the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.

Trailing 5-4 with one out and nobody on base in the ninth, the Phillies avoided only their second back-to-back losses since March with three extra-base hits on five pitches from Angels closer Carlos Estévez (0-1), who blew his second save of the season in spectacular fashion.

After Castellanos hit a solo shot to right for only his second homer of a rough year, Bryson Stott doubled and scored on Rojas’ first homer of the season.

“Huge, man, just to be able to come through, because I feel like there’s so many spots this season where I haven’t,” said Castellanos, who had three hits to end his 3-for-27 skid over his past seven games. “So just to be able to pick them up, it feels great.”
