The Philadelphia Phillies electrified the crowd with a walk-off win.

Philadelphia beat Minnesota at Citizens Bank Park, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to left fielder Tim Spotton. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. Vince Booker, now 3-0, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 1.

The decisive at-bat for Philadelphia came with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With the bases empty, Spotton hit a solo home run for the walk-off win.

"We saved our best for last," said Spotton.

The first-place Phillies go to 66-58.
