With one out in the bottom of the ninth, J.T. Realmuto swung at a hanging slider from Ryan Pressly. The Phillies have come up with miracle hit after miracle hit over a month that has delivered a decade’s worth of memories. Maybe they had one left to tie it and possibly take a 3-2 series lead to Houston.
The ball wasn’t going to carry out of the yard off the bat, but it was heading for the top of the wall in right center. For Realmuto, that’s at least a double, possibly a triple and if third base coach Dusty Wathan was feeling it, maybe a game-tying home run.
