Phillies 9, Marlins 8 (15)
Game 144 - Tuesday Night, September 12th in Philadelphia
Record - 55-89, 5th place, 33 games behind the Nationals
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies finally won in the 15th on Nick Williams' walk-off double and Rhys Hoskins homered twice more in this 9-8 victory.
What It Means: There were two on-field celebrations. The first one happened in the ninth when Hyun Soo Kim singled to right, scoring Nick Williams with the tying run and then (seemingly) scoring Cesar Hernandez with the winning run. The team celebrated around Kim while the umpires reviewed the call, eventually ruling that Hernandez was out at the plate and sending the game to the 10th inning.
What Happened: Marcell Ozuna homered in the 10th to give the Marlins the lead again, but Hoskins' second home run of the night (16) in the bottom of the inning tied it up. It remained tied until Williams doubled Aaron Altherr home with the winning run.
With the exception of Hector Neris allowing Ozuna's home run in the 10th, the Phillies bullpen pitched nine innings of scoreless relief.
Featured Card: Williams gets added to the rare Chachi In Action insert set for his efforts.
