This. Look at the umpire pointing to the catcher and then pointing to the plate.

The announcers saw that and said that the umpire awarded Raph home plate but that it didn't matter because Raph got there anyway. The catcher was clearly moving up the line to field the ball, but Raph got to him a split second before the ball did. Looks like the ball might have hit Raph just as he was colliding with the catcher.

The catcher might have had a better chance if he had moved inside the base path and tried to field the ball and swipe tag Raph. Instead he blocked the base path, missed the ball and got called for obstruction. Good hustle by Raph and good call by the ump..
