PHILADELPHIA — The record will reflect that J.T. Realmuto doubled to lead off the eighth inning Friday night, stole third base, and scored the go-ahead run on Edmundo Sosa’s sinking liner to left field.
But that wouldn’t represent Realmuto’s full impact on the game.
With the Phillies trailing by three runs and stuck in a 17-inning scoreless rut, including 12 straight without a run against the pitching-challenged Rockies, Realmuto indicated to home-plate umpire Alex Tosi that he got hit on the hand by a two-strike pitch from Colorado starter Noah Davis in the fourth inning.
