Phillies Win on Rare Catcher Interference Ending First Since 1971

The Philadelphia Phillies secured a rare 3-2 walk-off victory over the Boston Red Sox thanks to a catcher's interference call in the 10th inning, the first such walk-off since 1971. With the bases loaded and no outs, Edmundo Sosa's checked swing struck catcher Carlos Narvaez's glove, leading to a successful review that awarded Sosa first base and allowed the automatic runner Brandon Marsh to score the winning run without a hit in the inning. Phillies reliever Max Lazar earned his first major league win after a scoreless outing, while starter Zack Wheeler pitched six strong innings. The unusual ending drew surprise from broadcasters and fans alike, highlighting the rarity of a game ending on catcher's interference. Phillies catcher Narvaez acknowledged the difficult moment and took responsibility for the error, while social media reacted with astonishment to the unconventional finish. The Phillies improved their record with this win and prepared to face the Red Sox again in an upcoming matchup.
