Bryce Harper just unleashed what could be one of the biggest swings in Phillies franchise history, and undoubtedly the biggest of his career.

With Philadelphia trailing 3-2 with one on and nobody out in the bottom of the eighth inning of game five, Harper drilled an opposite field two-run blast to give the Phillies a 4-3 lead and put the team within three outs of their first World Series appearance since 2009.

The blast put Citizens Bank Park up for grabs, as Harper's magical October continued, putting the Phils on the cusp of more playoff magic and another improbable series win.

"Man, I just did that," Harper told Ken Rosenthal in the dugout after his trip around the bases. "Now we have three more outs to go."
