Nick Castellanos homered twice in the Philadelphia Phillies’ 4-3 win on Saturday over the Colorado Rockies at Citizens Bank Park. Full recap from NBCSPhilly HERE:
Throw in left fielder Cristian Pache’s two-run home in the fourth and the Phillies had just enough offense to edge the Rockies, 4-3, before a near-sellout crowd of 41,939. The three homers in a game matched the team’s season-high set against the Marlins on April 10.
There are two reasons Castellanos may be positioned to have a better 2023. The first is he’s improved his approach at the plate. “Completely different than last year,” Thomson said. “He’s staying back on the ball and letting it travel. That gives you a chance to see the ball and use your legs. Use all your strength.”
Even more important, he indicated, is that he feels more settled than he did last year, joining a new team shortly before Opening Day, facing the expectations generated by a big contract.
