Watch: Phillies Execute Strikeout-Throwout Double Play
Noah Syndergaard and J.T. Realmuto pulled off a perfect "strike 'em out, throw 'em out" double play.
Game 5 of the World Series didn't get off to a great start for the Philadelphia Phillies. The Astros took a quick and early lead thanks to a lead-off triple by Jose Altuve and an RBI single from Jeremy Peña.
Thankfully, starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard and catcher J.T. Realmuto were able to limit the damage. With a full count, Syndergaard struck out Yordan Alvarez and Realmuto threw a bullet down to second base to catch the running Peña. It was a perfectly executed "strike 'em out, throw 'em out" double play.
