The Texas Rangers trailed the Philadelphia Phillies until the bottom of the ninth inning when they managed to load the bases with the help of Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon.
With a two-run lead, the Rangers out-waited Papelbon to earn the team's first walk-off walk in franchise history.
According to Baseball Reference that's the first time the Rangers have had a walk-off walk. #Shrimp

Shin-Soo Choo had five walk-off hits to his name coming in and took the free pass to complete the 4-3 Rangers win.
Papelbon's ugly line on the night: four hits, three earned runs, two walks, while recording just a single out.
