Realmuto's home run was his 14th of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Caleb Kilian in the second inning. Realmuto is 24-for-78 (.307) with six home runs and 17 RBI over his last 21 games. A midseason knee injury put a damper on his season, but he's showing that he can still be a really good fantasy catcher.
Philadelphia Phillies' slugger J.T. Realmuto crushed a two-run homer that gave the Philadelphia Phillies an early lead over the Chicago Cubs.
Garcia briefly filled in while J.T. Realmuto was hurt. He has the option to refuse the assignment, but either way he'll become a minor league free agent at the end of the season.
This game was scoreless entering the eighth inning and while the Mets struck first, Philly had the last laugh. Nick Castellanos stole second base off Edwin Diaz to set Realmuto up for the clutch, game-winning knock as he went with a fastball on the black and served it into right field. He's been playing his best ball of the season lately with four home runs and a .987 OPS over his last 15 games.
The Mets lost 2-1 in Philadelphia to the Phillies on Sunday, as Edwin Diaz gave up a walk-off single to J.T. Realmuto in the bottom of the ninth inning.
