#609. It was his 13th walk-off -- tops in Major League history.
The home run cost Jonathan Papelbon $5,000.
Papelbon took the mound for the Phillies with a 6-4 lead. He allowed RBI singles to Jeff Keppinger, in his first game back from the disabled list, and Brooks Conrad, and left the game with his first blown save in 18 chances.
"I came in the clubhouse, and I said 'Whoever walks this guy off, I'll give 'em five grand,' " Papelbon said. "I didn't think Jim would do it right off the bat. ... I just wrote him a check for $5,000."

Congrats to Thome, one of the best all-time sluggers in the game.
