The game also featured three home runs by Philadelphia, including the 14,000th in franchise history. J.T. Realmuto hit the milestone blast with his third-inning solo shot to left field off Rangers starter Dane Dunning, giving the Phillies a 3-2 lead with his sixth long ball of the season.
Unfortunately, Philadelphia's cameraman in left field totally missed the historic homer, as he had his camera pointed in the wrong direction.The Phanatic was getting crowd shots rather than focusing on the action on the field, so he totally missed Realmuto's homer.In his defense, the Phillie Phanatic is not a trained cameraman, and filming games isn't part of his job description. Still, he's worked enough ballgames to know that the action is on the field, not in the stands.
