RECAP: Game 2 NLDS – Nick Castellanos, Bryce Harper save the Phillies

It’s not that the Phillies couldn’t have come back to win the NLDS had they lost Game 2 on Sunday night. It’s that the odds would have been heavily against them. But after they continued to chase pitches out of the strike zone at an alarming rate through five innings in Game 2, Bryce Harper settled everybody’s nerves when he crushed a two-run homer into the batter’s eye in center field to cut the Mets’ lead to 3-2. Nick Castellanos, who got booed and Bronx cheered in the fourth, followed with a game-tying solo homer. Harper and Castellanos continued from there. They led the Phillies to a dramatic 7-6 walk-off victory, which Castellanos ended with a single to left. Bryson Stott came through with a huge hit. Cristopher Sánchez pitched well. We also talk about Rob Thomson’s decision to bench Alec Bohm in Game 2, and if Edmundo Sosa might start at second base against a tough lefty in Game 3.
