J.T. Realmuto’s first career postseason home run stayed within the walls of Citizens Bank Park.
On a 1-1 count against Braves reliever Colin McHugh, Realmuto crushed a slider to that pesky top of the left center field wall that’s built for this kind of chaos.
Michael Harris II had no chance on that play, but right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was nowhere near the ball. Third base coach Dusty Wathan made the gutsy call to send Realmuto home and the speedy catcher beat the relay rather easily for an inside-the-park home run to give the Phillies a 4-1 lead.
