Kepler's homer in 8th gives Phillies 3-2 win over Blue Jays

The Philadelphia Phillies saw their ball boy make a great play to snag a foul ball hit by designated hitter Kyle Schwarber.
With the Blue Jays up 1-0, Francis retired Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm before walking Nick Castellanos and Max Kepler. Then, the 29-year-old hit J.T. Realmuto with a pitch, walked Bryson Stott to bring in a run, and hit Otto Kemp to bring in another run. Toronto manager John Schneider had seen enough after that.
This trade proposal between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies makes too much sense before the MLB trade deadline.
That and starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez worked well enough to give the Phillies their fourth win in five starts. It also was part of Kepler’s larger plan for the sellout crowd 43,711 in South Philadelphia trying to make it home through other politically well-intentioned crowds in “No Kings” demonstrations.
