VIDEO: JT Realmuto Gives Phillies Lead in 10th Inning With Solo Shot at Wrigley Field
By Brendan Azoff
J.T. Realmuto is starting to heat up, and his hot streak continued at the perfect time for the Phillies, with a solo shot in the 10th to put the Phillies up 5-4 over the Cubs.
Realmuto hit his sixth of the year just one inning after the Phillies had tied the game which saw them relinquish their two-run lead late. The Phillies catcher has had a quietly strong season, and his sixth dinger is his biggest as a member of Philadelphia.
This is a huge series with both teams looking to assert their dominance in the National League, and Realmuto just gave the Phillies that chance.
