Jim Thome hits a walk-off homer off Tampa Bay’s Jake McGee in the bottom of the 9th to give the Phillies a 7 – 6 win. It is Thome’s 609th career homer, tying him with Sammy Sosa for 7th place on the all-time list, and the 13th in walk-off fashion, the most in history; five players have hit 12, and all are Hall of Famers: Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial, Frank Robinson and Babe Ruth. The 900th win of manager Charlie Manuel’s career moves the Phillies out of last place in the NL East. Earlier in the 9th inning, Jonathan Papelbon had blown a 6 – 4 lead for his first blown save of the season, but Thome’s blast makes him the winner.
