The Philadelphia Phillies managed to beat the Boston Red Sox thanks to a highly unconventional call by the home plate umpire during extra innings.

Sosa immediately flagged the umpire to check for catcher's interference and after a short review, the Phillies were able to bring a run home for a hilariously improbable walk-off ending. The moment left the Phillies announcers speechless and for good reason,

The Philadelphia Phillies could be in the market for an outfielder ahead of the trade deadline, and a deal for Cleveland Guardians star Steven Kwan makes sense.

Boston had chances all night long, at least one baserunner in nine of 10 innings, but their clutch factor was M.I.A. and in the bottom of the 10th, it was the Phillies who triumphed, albeit in one of the most bizarre endings baseball has seen in a long time: A walk-off on bases-loaded catcher’s interference, determined on a replay review.

The Philadelphia Phillies have averaged 325,000 viewers per game, 20% better than the New York Mets, and the most in MLB this season.

The Phillies, who have been searching for relief pitching help throughout the season, have agreed to sign veteran reliever David Robertson, reports The Athletic. It's a deal for the rest of the season for $16 million, prorated for just the remainder of the Phillies' games, reports MLB.com, or roughly $6 million.

Former Major League Baseball pitcher Jeff Bittiger, who was serving as a scout for the Athletics, has died, the organization announced. He was 63 years old. Bittiger spent the past 22 years as a scout for the Athletics before he died Saturday morning after a battle with cancer.
