PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies acquired closer Carlos Estévez from the Los Angeles Angels for a pair of minor league pitching prospects as they strengthen a run at their first World Series since 2008. Estévez has 20 saves this season, a year after he had 31 and was an All-Star for the Angels. The 31-year-old Estévez originally signed with Colorado in 2011 and made his major league debut in 2016. He has 76 saves in 418 appearances, all in relief.
