The team rattled off an impressive win streak before hitting the All-Star break, then took a game from the juggernaut Chicago Cubs. Most recently, the Phillies needed extra innings and a catcher's interference fluke to defeat them, as starter Walker Buehler enjoyed an encouraging return to form.

Boston is 1-3 since the All-Star break, while Philadelphia is 2-2 — both losing the first series of the second-half. The Red Sox have scored three total runs in their three losses and six in their lone win during this stretch.

As noted by MLB.com, it was the first walk-off catcher’s interference play since August 1, 1971, when the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds. In that game, Dodgers outfielder Willie Crawford drew an interference call against Johnny Bench to end the game.
