Phillies rookie Luke Williams is off to an unforgettable start to his MLB career.
With two outs and trailing 1-0, the Philadelphia Phillies were in danger of falling to 28-32, the same record as their disappointing 2020 season.
Rookie utility player Luke Williams — who was called up Monday and making his first career start after an impressive showing to help Team USA clinch a spot in the Summer Olympics — had other plans.
With Andrew McCutchen on first base after walking earlier in the bottom of the ninth, Williams hit a clutch, two-run home run for his first walk-off, professional home run.
