Panamanian player Edmundo Sosa was the hero for the Philadelphia Phillies, driving in the game-winning run in their dramatic 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a 10-inning contest.
The Phillies trailed by one run heading into the bottom of the tenth inning. Sosa entered the game as a pinch runner for Luis Arráez, who had reached base with a single. A clutch triple by Alec Bohm then allowed both Bryce Harper and Sosa to score, securing the win for Philadelphia.
On the Cardinals' side, fellow Panamanian Iván Herrera managed to score a run in the sixth inning after hitting a single. He later scored on a home run by Jordan Walker. Herrera, playing as the designated hitter, finished the game with one hit in five at-bats and a batting average of .244 for the season.
Another Panamanian player, Leonardo Jiménez, also participated in the game. He struck out in his only at-bat for the Miami Marlins, who defeated the Washington Nationals 3-2. Jiménez, who started at third base, has a season batting average of .205.
