PHILADELPHIA — Nothing was getting in J.T. Realmuto’s way as he soared around the bases, not even his own teammate.

As the catcher tried to score from first base on a ball into the gap, Nick Castellanos, the runner coming from second, was suddenly just feet in front of him with the same goal in mind.

Realmuto smiled. He was going for it, and he knew Castellanos needed to hurry.
