The Philadelphia Phillies blew out the Kansas City Royals on Saturday thanks to J.T. Realmuto's seven RBI, which tied the franchise record for most by a catcher in a single game.
The Philadelphia Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning of Saturday's contest against the Kansas City Royals, and they did so without much help from J.T. Realmuto's bat.
Realmuto got a green light on a 3-0 count, then took Brady Singer yard. He blasted a three-run home run to left that chased the Royals' righty off the mound and put the Phillies up 5-1. Five Philadelphia catchers have recorded six-RBI outings, including Mike Lieberthal, Benito Santiago and Darren Daulton.Realmuto is now batting .262 with 10 home runs, 36 RBI, a .733 OPS and a 2.2 WAR this season. The 33-year-old missed most of June and July after undergoing a right knee meniscectomy, but he is still on pace to record a WAR over 2.3 for the ninth-consecutive non-COVID season.
