Nick Castellanos hit two homers, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS and into the NLCS.
Nick Castellanos became the first player to hit multiple homers in consecutive postseason games, sending the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-1 victory in Game 4 of their NL Division Series on Thursday night that knocked the 104-win Atlanta Braves out of the playoffs for the second straight year. Matt Strahm struck out pinch-hitter Vaughn Grissom with runners at the corners to clinch the series and send the Phillies rushing the field in wild celebration.
The teams with the five best regular-season records — the Braves, Baltimore , Dodgers , Tampa Bay and Milwaukee — all failed to reach LCS. The night belonged to Castellanos, the All-Star right fielder whose production tailed off in the second half only to rally with his son in the front row for the postseason. A night after he hit two homers in Game 3, Castellanos became the first Phillies slugger, heck, any slugger in baseball history, to drill multiple homers in consecutive playoff games.
