Phillies Beat Red Sox on Walk-Off Catcher's Interference Call
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 21 – The Phillies secured their third walk-off win of the season on a rare catcher’s interference call, only the second such ending in MLB history since 1971, MLB statistics show.
- On Monday night, July 21, 2025, at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies secured a walk-off win via catcher’s interference, clinching a 3-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
- It was the first walk-off catcher’s interference since 1971, highlighting a historic rarity, as Rob Thomson noted.
- With the bases loaded and no outs, Quinn Wolcott initially called it a ball before a replay challenge overturned it.
- Cora said `That's a rule, we don't want to lose a game, especially in that way`, while the Red Sox suffered a controversial loss after the call.
- The Phillies will host the Red Sox Tuesday at 6:45 p.m. EDT with Cristopher Sanchez facing Boston’s Richard Fitts.
