It was never going to be easy, vanquishing the 106-win Astros. The Phillies were the last NL team into the tournament, and although they are the last one standing a month later, they are regarded as the World Series underdog, except within the walls of their clubhouse.

Then, in the ninth, after Harper got hit by a pitch, Castellanos worked the count full again before grounding to Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña to end the game. Peña had a big game, with an RBI single in the first inning, a leaping catch to take a hit from Castellanos in the third, and a solo homer in the fourth.
