Relive Brandon Phillips’ second-straight walk-off hit against Marlins
The day after his walk-off hit for an 8-7 win over the Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves second baseman Brandon Phillips did it again.
In the bottom of the ninth on Sunday afternoon, Phillips walked up to the plate with one out and runners on the corners. With a 3-1 count, Phillips hit a line drive up the middle of the field, winning the game 5-4.
The Braves were quick to rush the field and celebrate Phillips becoming the first Brave to record game-ending RBIs on consecutive days since Ozzie Virgil in September 1988 and the fourth Brave in history.
Two walk-offs in two days? That's definitely #ASGWorthy!#DatDudeASG: https://t.co/80vhfC9eqy pic.twitter.com/Y9CWNc9xBh
