Castellanos’s three-run homer off Mason Englert put the game away in the eighth. It was his first homer since Apr. 14 and third in 35 games overall.

Castellanos delivered an RBI single off of Brad Lord in the sixth inning that pulled the Phillies to within two runs at 4-2. That would be as close as they would get. With his two-hit attack, the 33-year-old is now slashing .278/.333/.426 with three long balls and 17 RBI on the season.

Castellanos is back at DH and batting fifth after making a precautionary exit from Friday’s one-sided affair as he continues to manage an ongoing hip issue.

Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a double before being lifted from Friday’s contest out of an abundance of caution in the fifth inning solely because the Phillies were up by a touchdown at the time. Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson told reporters afterwards that the veteran outfielder, who has been working through a hip flexor issue, is expected to be in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown.
