Phillies get 3-2, walk-off win over Boston on catcher’s interference call with bases loaded in 10th

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Automatic runner Brandon Marsh scored on a call of catcher’s interference with the bases loaded in the 10th inning Monday night to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 3-2 walk-off win over the Boston Red Sox.

With nobody out in the bottom of the 10th, Edmundo Sosa's made a check swing on a pitch from Jordan Hicks (1-6) that was called a ball and his bat hit the glove of catcher Carlos Narvaez. The Phillies’ asked for a review and the ball call was overturned, allowing Marsh to score the winning run without a Philadelphia hit in the inning.

It is the first walk-off win due to catcher’s interference since Aug. 1, 1971, when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds.

Phillies starter Zack Wheeler went six innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits with 10 strikeouts. Relievers Tanner Banks, Orion Kerkering, Matt Strahm and Max Lazar (1-0) each threw scoreless innings. Lazar earned his first major league win.

The Phillies scored twice in the fourth inning. Bryce Harper doubled, Nick Castellanos had an RBI single and advanced to second on a passed ball and then scored on J.T. Realmuto’s single.

Jarren Duran led off the game with his ninth home run of the season for Boston. Trevor Story tied the game at 2 with an RBI single in the sixth.

Boston's Walker Buehler worked seven innings, allowing six hits and two runs, one earned.

Hicks threw 10 pitches without getting an out in the 10th. He walked Otto Kemp, who was trying to bunt Marsh to third. Marsh and Kemp advanced on a wild pitch to Max Kepler, was was intentionally walked by the Red Sox to face Sosa.

Bryce Harper has 14 hits and 13 extra-base hits (nine doubles, four home runs) in his last eight games. He had just seven extra-base hits in his previous 25 games.

The Phillies send Cristopher Sanchez (8-2, 2.50 ERA) against Boston’s Richard Fitts (1-3, 4.28) on Tuesday.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's protesting university students on Sunday collected signatures throughout the country for their request for an early parliamentary election that they hope would oust the autocratic government of President Aleksandar Vucic from office.

Braving freezing weather, the students set up nearly 500 stands in dozens of cities, towns and villages in the Balkan country for residents to sign the election demand, which isn't a formal petition. Students have said that Sunday’s action was meant to put further pressure on Vucic and as a test of support.

Young protesters have been at the forefront of a nationwide movement against Vucic's populist rule in Serbia. More than a year of street protests first started in November 2024 after a train station disaster that killed 16 people.

The concrete canopy collapse in the northern city of Novi Sad was widely blamed on alleged rampant corruption and disregard of construction and safety rules during renovation work at the station. No one has been held responsible for the tragedy.

Vucic has refused to schedule an immediate early vote, but has suggested that it could be held sometime next year. Both parliamentary and presidential elections are otherwise due in 2027.

“We have stands that serve to connect with the citizens," said Igor Dojnov, a student manning one of the points in central Belgrade.

Youth-led protests during the past year have shaken Vucic more than ever during his 13-year-long tenure. Serbia's populist prime minister resigned in January, and Vucic later launched a crackdown on protesters that also drew international criticism.

While street protests have subsided, discontent with Vucic's government is believed to be widespread.

Milca Cankovic Kadijevic, a resident of Belgrade, said that she supported the students, because “I have a desire to live decently — me, my children and my grandchildren."

Vucic has formally promised to take Serbia into the European Union, but he has maintained close links with Russia and China, while facing accusations of clamping down on democratic freedoms and allowing corruption and organized crime to flourish.

He has denied this, and accused the protesters of attempting to orchestrate a “color revolution” under unspecified orders from the West. The term “color revolution” has been used to describe a series of mass protests at the beginning of the 21st century that sometimes led to the toppling of governments in the former Soviet Union states, the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East and Asia.
