The Philadelphia Phillies played a frustrating game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. They were shut out for seven straight innings and the bullpen coughed up a late lead in a 6-5 11-inning loss. Worst of all, catcher J.T. Realmuto was lifted from the game with a right index finger contusion after being hit on the hand with a foul ball in the ninth inning.
The ball caught him flush on his throwing hand and Phillies fans all collectively held their breaths hoping for some positive news. That news came shortly after the game, and it was exactly what everyone was hoping for.
