Boston, The Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies
Digest more
The Philadelphia Phillies just took a series victory over the Boston Red Sox and first baseman Bryce Harper hit a career milestone with his 350th home run.
Bryce Harper is heating up, and as Jesús Luzardo has said multiple times: “When Bryce goes, I think the whole team goes.”
Bryce Harper hit the 350th homer of his career and four Phillies teammates also went deep, yet it wasn’t enough for Philadelphia to beat Boston.
The Red Sox scored six runs in the fifth and avoided a three-game series sweep at Citizens Bank Park, taking a 9-8 win in 11 innings. The Phils dropped to 58-44 and Boston improved to 55-49.
The Boston Red Sox are likely planning for the trade deadline and postseason. However, Alex Cora already has one eye on free agency.

Phillies get 3-2, walk-off win over Boston on catcher’s interference call with bases loaded in 10th
Automatic runner Brandon Marsh scored on a call of catcher’s interference with the bases loaded in the 10th inning Monday night to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 3-2 walk-off win over the Boston Red Sox.
The last time catcher’s interference produced a walk-off victory was Aug. 1, 1971. The man who committed the mistake was Johnny Bench, the Hall of Fame catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, enabling the Los Angeles Dodgers to win, USA Today reported.
