Phillies vs. Twins Game Highlights (7/24/24) | MLB Highlights

And there's Stephen Oer who's making his first start of the season. Unofficially, the sixth time teams have used the left handed opener against the Phillies this year and all four. So Schwarber walks and here comes Trey Turner over to second base under the glove of Julian into right field. Schwarber is on his way to third and he'll get there. That's excellent baserunning. The Phillies have first to third out of the gate here in the first inning and no throw to second by Jeffers and Trey Turner with his 13th stolen base. Good to see him going right away. So now two ducks on the pond for Harper scoring position and he pops up outside of third, a little bit of a breeze today and Castro runs it down and here comes Rocco Baldelli. So his lefty is done and here is David Festa in his third game in the big leagues. And ALEC ball will be the hitter with runners at 2nd and 3rd, the infield in strike 397 painted on the outside corner, a great pitch ball, not happy, but he's going to look at his ipad and see, you know what that's a great pitch. 2nd and 3rd 2 down here's the 32 and there is strike three called and Marsh like balm shaking his head. Fellas, guess what? Those are. Strikes. Here's Aaron's numbers for the year 11 and four second to Chris Sal in victories 3.54 a swing and a miss and Noah picks up his first strikeout 100 and 21 on the season. Another two outs that is pull fair down the left field line. This will be at least two. It kicks off the wall and Buxton will make second base with ease a two out double and the twins have a chance against Nola right away today at the end of the bat and Mars charging in from left and he'll get there and the twins lead Buxton at second. So a double for Castellanos ST lined out sharply. Now, consecutive walks at the bottom of the order, bases loaded one out and the 12 pitch , he struck him out with a changeup two down and now Festa once again is an out away and a 12, he struck him out at 97. It is indeed an early festivus here at target field as the Phillies put two out of the first. Don't score lead three in the second and there's one away that will bring up Matt Walner Walner , the DH today that Walner sends it high and deep to right center. Beckett goes and gone second deck blast for the pride of Forest Lake. His fourth homer and the twins take a one nothing lead. That ball was absolutely annihilated. That's a matt Wallace right there. And I'll say it again when he hits them. They stay hit for a while and the twins have the lead 441 ft. This has not been the problem getting runners into scoring position for the Phillies today. It's just getting them home this one to shallow left, nick a step or two and he'll get there near the line and they are two down. Nicholas Castellanos double to right center ground ball left side. It's going to be Castro in front of Lee and Santana on the low throw makes the play and Festa leaves one more in scoring position. Santana leads Nola stretches the 22 pitch strike three called. He got him looking but Nola gets the strike out. It's a big one out to shortstop on what Turner's got a shovels underneath the second in time to get Santana and Schwarber 84 on a fastball make that 94 strikes out second time that best struck out Schwarber and David now has struck out six Phillies so far today. Here's Trey Turner to bat. He's one for two and a high fly ball to deep left. Nick going back and into the second deck for Trey Turner his 13th home run of the season. It's his 10th here in the month of July. It's a 11 game strike three and that one went the twins way, that one is lined out to left center field. It's going to be the second double of the game for Alec Ball. He now has 35 doubles on the year. And sure enough, here comes the Twins manager and that will do it for David Festin came in in a big spot early and did his job, but he will leave here in the fifth inning against an outstanding lineup and receives a nice hand. So once again, the twins have 1st and 3rd 1 out. They did not capitalize in the fourth. Can they do so here in the fifth shortstop could be two turner flips the second and on a one half hit to get nick, what a play by Bryce Harper to pick it and he does work out of a jam thanks to his defense here in the fifth inning, the stretch by the lefty and the 11 runner goes breaking ball and it's popped in the air back of third. It's falling near the line and it is a fair ball inside the foul line down in shadow left field and Garrett Stubbs talk about dumping one into the grass there for a base hit. He just threw the bat at that ball. Johan Rojas sacrifices the two runners in scoring position, but it's the second out of the inning. It's a 11 game here in the sixth inning, but there have been chances for both teams as we played out, especially for the team batting right now. They've been very good throughout the year among the better teams in baseball. 2nd and 3rd 2 down a line drive out to center field that will drop in for a base hit one is in. Here comes Stubbs tight around third throw to the plate. Not in time. It died of the H and Stubbs slides in head first. It's a two run single for Schwarber. It ends in zero for 20 the Phillies take a 31 lead. I know this is a team sport butcher needed that hit. It's been a struggle for him here in Minnesota on this road trip, but that is a huge two out knock there for the Phillies DH. And after the two out double by Santana back to back walks and the bases are loaded with the young Brooks League coming up, bases loaded, two down, two run game, bottom six swing and a miss. He got him. He went up for one of the first times today to get the strikeout. He leaves them loaded here in the sixth inning and Brandon Marsh grounds into the fielder's choice. Two outs. Castanos the batter swing and a miss runner goes throw to second and save at second is brandon Marsh. Nick is going to have a runner in scoring position now because Brandon Marsh steals second base for another two out hit here runner and scoring position off the hands into right field. A base hit here comes Marsh Gas Dillanos with an RB I single third hit of the day and it's 4 to 1. Phillies on top. Here's Byron Buxton with two on and one out. He's the tying run and he just got hit. Buxton got hit on the forearm of believe not Kirk's day. So the Phillies will make a pitching change. They bring in the lefty Strom. Matt Strom closed it last night. Bases loaded one out and Max Kepler will bat for himself. Only one out twins down three to the right side Harper Gloves, he'll go second for one turner's return throw and safe as Kepler as a run scores and the lead is down to two. It's a 4 to 2 game Kepler by the way credited for an RB I in that fielder's choice and for Max career run batted in number 500. Congratulations to Kepler on that milestone. Carlos Santana, his first at bat right handed Santana to left center field and deep Beckett goes deep, it goes near the wall and it's missed by Marsh. He missed it one run scores. Here comes Kepler heading home. He scores and we're tied in a carlos Santana two out, two run double, Marsh looked like he was getting to that spot. Arm went out and just missed it despite 27 pitches last night. Only 11 strikes. Roy in a 44 game. Jan Durant is the ninth inning. Once again to the right side. Julian charging gloving throws him out. Nice. Bounce back from Joan Durant with a clean 123. 9th inning. He's had a 4 to 1 lead but now it's 44. We're going to the bottom of the ninth inning and Rob Thomson said more high leverage situations for Gregory Soto and this is one here. It missed but hit the umpire. Now they're saying it clipped Larn Jersey and the winning run is on how they're going to play it here. Austin Mart-n as he bunted it. His first at bat came in for Byron Buxton. He doesn't show it's a wild pitch that'll find the limestone and now Larn is down to second. Anything can happen with Gregory soto. Larn. Now the winning run at second base, it's one ball and no strikes. He does bunt lays it down. Lorn will make third. Soto makes the play job well done by the rookie Austin Mart-n and the winning run is 90 ft away. He has a walk off hit this season. Good numbers, lifetime against SOTO, ground ball up the middle. This is gonna work. This is gonna win it. Kepler put it in play. Loick scores, twins win, twins win the twins walk it off against the Phillies 54. I'll see it, Roy. This is game number 101. This is the best victory of the season.
