Dodgers win after chaotic rundown double play caps 2-1 victory over Phillies

sportsJul 22, 202616584

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 when a chaotic bases rundown produced a game-ending double play, handing the Dodgers the win. Max Muncy supplied the only other offense with a homer that ultimately decided the game. Justin Wrobleski, fresh off the All-Star Game, made it through 6.1 innings with 5 hits, 1 earned run, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts and 89 pitches. Zack Wheeler retired the first eight batters he faced, but a two-out sequence in the third, Eliezer Alfonzo Jr. doubled, Shohei Ohtani was ruled out on review after trying to stretch the hit, and Alfonzo’s slow baserunning prevented a run, played into the tense middle innings. Both bullpens were described as flawless late, with Evan Phillips recording back-to-back strikeouts in relief. The game followed an 80-minute rain delay and drew a paid attendance of 40,077 at Citizens Bank Park.

Bucket list item ✔️ Sang the national anthem with my choir at the Phillies - Dodgers game (and on national tv) tonight. It was quite a thrill! 😁

Very cool. A friend of mine sang it at a Phils game maybe 10 years ago and he always posts the video on the anniversary. A lifetime memory for you. Savor it.

With the walk-off run at second and the tying run at third, Scott gets Marsh to ground to Muncy, who get Crawford in a rundown for the out. Realmuto then goes back to second for some reason and gets tagged out there for a double play. Dodgers win, lmfao.

Glad the 3B coach had a great view of all of that unfolding and just decided to watch I guess??

Thanks, JT! We'll take it.

You can see Mookie watching JT run back to 2nd and going "...what the fuck am I watching?" for a second before muscle memory kicks in.

That was unexpected and bizarre. Beats out the Alfonso-Ohtani double TOOTBLAN early in the game.

That was dandy. Weird and dandy.

Phillies always find a way, don't they. We'll take it 😄

I once saw someone say that characters should never do anything "for some reason," because they would know their own motivations and act accordingly* counterpoint: jt realmuto running back to second for some fucking reason

Sorry but it’s time for @sickoscommittee.org baseball… it’s mostly just Phillies and Mets. But, by my count, that’s a good 80% of this site so you’re good.

I actually did what Realmuto did here once during baseball practice freshman year in high school. The coach got so mad at me that he made every player on the team stop scrimmaging and run sprints for a while. So then everyone got mad at me (by design) and needless to say I did not do that again

Bryan Kephart14

Jeff Kent and JD Drew both getting tagged out at home on the same play is still probably the dumbest TOOTBLAN I’ve seen, but now this one is pretty high up there

#athletics have abominably unwatchable for the last 30 days, but at least we ain't on some Yakety Sax sh t ✌🏾

In case you want to hear a different call of that Realmuto play

Phillies about to tie the game, maybe even win it with runners on 2nd and 3rd when Wet Sasquatch scrubs a line drive straight to Muncy for one of the wildest rundown/double plays you will ever see.

me: the baserunning mechanics in MLB The Show are terrible and unrealistic Phillies:

This still isn’t the dumbest moment by a Phillies player against the Dodgers in the last 365 days

40,077 is the paid attendance tonight at Citizens Bank Park for Dodgers-Phillies. After a 1 hour and 20 minute rain delay, they've been treated to a really good pitching matchup.

Dodgers All-Star Justin Wrobleski picked up right where he left off in the second half. His final line Tuesday against the Phillies: 6.1 IP 5 H 1 ER 1 B 7 K In two starts against the Phillies this year he has a 1.35 ERA. His season ERA is down to 2.62.

What is it about the Dodgers that causes the Phillies to make game-ending bad decisions on routine plays?
