Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto made a spectacular leaping grab and tag of Cody Bellinger at the plate for an inning-ending double play that denied the Yankees a run in the third.
For the third time in less than a month, the Philadelphia Phillies were on the positive end of a catcher’s interference call.
Cristopher Sánchez’ wizardry and J.T. Realmuto’s go-ahead home run propelled the Phillies to a 6-4, series-clinching win over the Mariners.
Realmuto launched a two-run homer in the eighth inning Tuesday, snapping a 4-4 tie and providing the winning runs as the Phillies captured the series. All that remained after the homer was for closer Jhoan Duran to enter to his anticipated light show and blow away the Mariners with a 102-mph fastball and 100-mph splinker.
