Nick Castellanos slugged a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth inning to rally the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-1 win over the Miami Marlins.
Castellanos, who has been mired in an 8-for-68 skid in the second half of the season, drilled a slider from Marlins closer David Robertson over the wall in left-center to punctuate the three-run outburst in the inning.
"It’s really nice being home, just to be able to go back to my house and see everybody that’s really familiar to me," Castellanos said. "I get a feeling of my roots again. I got to unplug and enjoy my home." Alcantara followed up his second complete game by limiting the Phillies to four hits over eight scoreless innings. The reigning NL CY Young Award winner allowed a walk and had five strikeouts in a 101-pitch outing.
"You’re always playing with fire when you have a one-run lead in the ninth," Schumaker said. "Sandy was great. The whole arsenal was really good and kept them off balance."
