Phillies made MLB history not seen since at least 1988 with wild 2-out, 2-strike win
This is some wild history for the Phillies to make thanks to an even wilder comeback.
The Philadelphia Phillies achieved an incredible feat in their most recent victory on Sunday, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4. Their winning strategy was anything but ordinary, as they emerged victorious down 4-0 in the ninth inning with two outs and two strikes on catcher J.T. Realmuto. This remarkable win marked the fifth time this season that the Phillies, down to their final strike, managed to defeat their opponents - a record that has not been seen in the Major League Baseball since at least 1988.
OptaSTATS, a data provider, confirmed that this is the most such wins by any MLB team in a single season since pitches began being tracked in 1988. The Phillies have proven to be a clutch team with this feat, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure.
