Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves is one the Castellanos family won't soon forget.
Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos played a significant role in a 10-2 win over the Atlanta Braves, smashing two home runs on the night, to the shock and amazement of his young son Liam, who had a front-row seat to witness his dad's heroics.
After notching his first long ball off Braves starter Bryce Elder in the third inning, Castellanos launched his second blast in the eighth off Smith-Shawver, leaving Liam speechless.
