Phillies claim another wild, walk-off win on catcher's interference with bases loaded in 10th

Phillies claim another wild, walk-off win on catcher's interference with bases loaded in 10th

Yahoo2 days ago
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Edmundo Sosa's teammates on the Philadelphia Phillies mobbed him beyond first base after a 3-2, walk-off win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
In the moment, it didn't matter to him that he'd gotten there thanks to a call of catcher's interference.
'To be honest, this feels exactly like a home run,' Sosa said through a translator. 'The most important thing about it is that we end up winning the game, and that's what we went out to do.'
Sosa won the game when, with the bases loaded and no out in the 10th inning, his check swing on a 2-2 pitch struck the glove of catcher Carlos Narvaez. The Phillies dugout called for a review, which showed the contact, allowing Sosa to take first and automatic runner Brandon Marsh to score the winning run.
'I felt my barrel was a little late on the pitch,' said Sosa, who entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth and singled. 'And as I go through my swing path, I feel like I hit the catcher's glove. And I told the ump that I think I felt something, and I started signaling in the dugout.'
It's the first instance of a walk-off catcher's interference in a major league game since Aug. 1, 1971, when the Los Angeles Dodgers won on a call against Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench. Willie Crawford was the batter, Joe Gibbon the pitcher.
The play went down as an error for Narvaez, his sixth of the season, second-most among catchers in the majors. Narvaez also had a passed ball, his fifth, in the fourth inning that moved Nick Castellanos into scoring position after he drove in the Phillies' first run. Castellanos scored on J.T. Realmuto's single.
'I don't feel I was that close to the hitter,' Narvaez said. 'Everything went so quick. Really tough for that to happen in that moment to cost us the game. I take accountability. I've got to be better. That cannot happen.'
It's the Phillies' third walk-off win of the season. The first, against Washington on April 29, came on a wild pitch that allowed Bryson Stott to score. A walk-off on June 6 over the Chicago Cubs came via a Marsh single in the 11th.
The Phillies lost a game in San Francisco on July 8 when Patrick Bailey hit a three-run, walk-off, inside-the-park home run.
'There's two things this year that I've never seen before in 40 years,' Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. 'One is a walk-off inside-the-park home run, and one is a walk-off catcher's interference.'
The Phillies won without putting a ball in play in the 10th. Marsh started the inning at second base. Otto Kemp, trying to bunt him to third, was walked by Boston reliever Jordan Hicks.
Hicks' first delivery to Max Kepler was a wild pitch that moved the runners to second and third. The Red Sox intentionally walked Kepler. Sosa went down 0-2, fouled a pitch off, then offered at an 86 mph slider, hitting only the thumb of Narvaez's glove to decide the game.
'It's strange,' Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler said. 'People always say, I've never seen that before on a baseball field. It's just another one. I'm wondering how many more times you can say that.'

Justin Thomas Takes Bad News Following Open

Justin Thomas Takes Bad News Following Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It hasn't been a standout golf season for Justin Thomas. The 32-year-old did grab his first win since 2022 back in April, taking down Andrew Novak at the RBC Heritage. Other than that, his year has been mostly average. In the four major tournaments, Thomas missed the cut twice. At the recent Open Championship, he made the cut but failed to finish inside the top 30. To make matters worse, Thomas has now slipped out of the top six in the FedEx Cup standings. He was sitting in sixth before the Open, but Harris English's strong runner-up finish vaulted him four spots up the rankings, pushing Thomas down to seventh. The entire Ryder Cup rankings can be found here: The top six players in the standings automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup. While there's still time for Thomas to climb back into that group, if he doesn't, his fate will be left to Team USA captain Keegan Bradley and his six captain's picks. Thomas was part of the 2023 Ryder Cup team that lost to Europe. He ranked 15th in points and 24th in the world heading into that event. It was his first Ryder Cup loss after victories in 2019 and 2021. In 2023, he went 1-2-1 and earned 1.5 points. Max Homa led the American side with 3.5 points. The top six players after the BMW Championship on August 17 will automatically qualify for Team USA. Scottie Scheffler has already secured a spot, with Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English currently rounding out the top six. Thomas has 10,208.09 points, trailing English, who sits at 10,385.65. Right behind Thomas is Collin Morikawa with 9,743.61 points. The next event on the 2025 PGA Tour is the 3M Open in Minnesota, running July 24–27. After that, the schedule includes the Wyndham Championship, FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship before the season wraps with the Tour Championship at East Lake. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Shilo Sanders' playful challenge brings Deion Sanders to Buccaneers camp

When Shilo Sanders jokingly told his dad, "You're coming to my practice first. That means I'm your favorite son," it was more than just a quip. On Wednesday, Deion Sanders made good on that playful challenge, attending the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first day of training camp to support the undrafted rookie. Coach Prime, who has been balancing his role as Colorado's head coach with ongoing health issues, flew to Tampa Bay to catch Shilo's NFL debut drills. Shilo, signed shortly after the 2025 NFL draft, is fighting to secure a spot on the Buccaneers' roster. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles, who has two sons playing college football, saw nothing unusual about Sanders' presence at the team's closed practice. "Normal day for me, as far as I'm concerned," Bowles said. "It's a father coming to see his son, like all of us would be doing." Deion also plans to visit his other son, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. While Shilo remains a long shot to make the Bucs' 53-man roster, he won't give up so easily. In May, after signing with the Bucs, he said, "Well, my take on being disappointed in 'lows' -- it's not really 'low' because you can't change the path and you can't really do anything about something that already happened. So I just trust God, and I always end up doing something great so I just know it's going to happen and whatever's happening currently is to learn or to grow from." In his final season at Colorado in 2024, Shilo Sanders recorded 67 total tackles, 44 unassisted tackles, two tackles for loss, two pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, one sack, one forced fumble and one defensive touchdown.
