VIDEO: JT Realmuto Opens the Scoring With Solo Shot off Jordan Zimmermann
By Charles Nason
After a marathon game that went 15 innings Tuesday night, the Philadelphia Phillies and Detroit Tigers are back at it on Wednesday. With such a short time between games, each team made a series of changes to their lineups. For the Phillies, that meant moving catcher J.T. Realmuto to first base, which he responded to with by jacking a solo shot to open up the scoring.

Realmuto's 11th home run was his first in eight games and helped the Phillies get on the board.
J.T. and the Phillies are hoping for a two-game sweep of the Tigers with a win on Wednesday.
