WOW! J.T. Realmuto becomes the first catcher in postseason history to hit a inside the park home run. Citizens Bank Park: LOUD.
What could possibly be more exciting than an inside-the-park home run in a postseason clincher?
J.T. Realmuto delivered one in the third inning Saturday afternoon to temporarily extend the Phillies' lead to three runs in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Braves.
Realmuto led off the third against Atlanta reliever Collin McHugh with a deep shot to center field. Michael Harris II, a terrific defender, couldn't run it down and when it caromed off the wall in left-center, Harris was far enough away that Realmuto could scamper all the way around the bases.
