What Happened

The Philadelphia Phillies host the New York Mets in the bottom of the 10th inning, the game tied 1-1. Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins works a hard-fought, 9-pitch walk to lead off the inning. The Mets' 82-year-old pitching coach comes out to the mound, urging his pitcher to throw more fastballs. Jay Bruce, who was recently traded from the Mets to the Phillies, steps to the plate. Bruce had a strong .964 OPS for the Phillies prior to this at-bat. The Mets pitcher works the count to 1-2 before Bruce gets ahold of a fastball and sends it to deep center field. The ball one-hops the wall, scoring the runner from second and giving the Phillies the walk-off victory. Bruce celebrates with his new Phillies teammates, including Bryce Harper, who delivers an emphatic fist pump. The Phillies' dugout erupts in excitement, with players climbing over the railing and players like Hoskins struggling to contain their joy. In the slow-motion replay, Bruce can be seen fixing his hair before joining the celebration. A Phillies staff member tries to get in on the high-fives with Harper, but is rebuffed as the Phillies players revel in the victory. This walk-off hit comes against Bruce's former team, the Mets, whom he was traded from in December before being dealt again to the Phillies in June. The dramatic finish gives the Phillies the win in this tight, back-and-forth contest, keeping them in the thick of the National League playoff race. For Bruce, it's a sweet moment to beat his old club and cement his place with his new team as they push for the postseason.
