On an 1-2 slider, Castellanos ripped a single to left field, sending Trea Turner home and sparking a euphoric celebration at Citizens Bank Park. The 7-6 win evened the series at one game apiece, as Phillies fans erupted into a frenzy.

“I did like that pitch when I saw it,” Castellanos said. “If he blows a fastball by me, so be it. I’d rather that than swing at something in the dirt.”

The game was a rollercoaster for the NL East rivals, with big moments from both sides. Castellanos tied the game with a solo homer in the sixth inning and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth, only for the Mets to tie it again with a two-run blast from Mark Vientos. But it was Castellanos’ heroics that ultimately sealed the victory for Philadelphia.

“This was special,” Castellanos said. “When I’m old and no one cares about me as a baseball player anymore, we’re going to be home and be able to remember and look back at that.”

Bryce Harper, who wore a “Showman” headband and hit a two-run homer earlier in the game, praised the team’s never-die mentality. “Rocky would be proud,” Harper said. “Just a great game.”

The Phillies will now head to New York for Game 3 on Tuesday, looking to build on this momentum as the Mets return to Citi Field for their first home game since late September. Both teams will continue to go “punch for punch,” as Harper put it, in what is shaping up to be a fiercely contested series.
