Stephen Vogt’s splash hit gives Giants new life

By

Bryce Harper silenced the Oracle Park crowd in the fifth.

An inning later, Stephen Vogt gave the fans their voices back.

The catcher became the first Giants since Brandon Belt last season to up the splash-hit counter, launching a Drew Smyly fastball 423 feet and into the Cove.

The two-run shot tied up the game with the Phillies at 5-5, and the Giants had new life after a rough Tyler Beede outing and Harper going from potential San Francisco hero to villain.
