Luke Williams Hits Walk-Off Homer In First MLB Start
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Luke Williams went 2-for-4 with a walk-off two-run homer on Wednesday. Williams, making his first MLB start after pinch-hitting Tuesday, came up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against Braves closer Will Smith. The Phillies stuck with the rookie despite being one out away from being shut out; Williams rewarded their confidence with one swing of the bat to deliver a 2-1 win. The 24-year-old doesn't have an everyday role and is expected to fill a super-utility role with the Big League club. As a result, he doesn't have much fantasy value in redraft leagues.
