In today's episode, Connor reacts to one of the great games in Philadelphia Phillies playoff history as the Phillies slug 6 home runs.
PHILADELPHIA — Nick Castellanos became the first player to hit multiple homers in consecutive postseason games, sending theto 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.
The Phillies head next week to an all-wild card NLCS and will play the Arizona Diamondbacks, making their first trip 2007.The Phillies withstood a pare of scares to get to the Diamondbacks. Before the collision involving Harper, rookie center fielder Johan Rojas made a huge defensive play with the bases loaded to end the seventh, running down a deep drive to left-center and denying Ronald Acuña Jr. an extra-base hit that could have put Atlanta ahead.
Atlanta will surely find little consolation that they are not the only regular-season heavyweight already out of the playoffs. The teams with the five best regular-season records — the Braves, Baltimore , Dodgers , Tampa Bay and Milwaukee — all failed to reach LCS. His second one ultimately ended the night for Braves starter and 20-game winner Spencer Strider. Castellanos chased Strider in the sixth with a 415-foot moonshot to left that sent 45,831 fans at Citizens Bank Park into towel-waving frenzy. Castellanos soaked in the cheers during the pitching change; he poked his head out of the dugout and raised his arms as Phillies fans grew louder.
