Phillies' Castellanos Warns Mets: Avoid Game 5 in Philly

Philadelphia, USAWednesday, October 9, 2024

Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos has a message for the Mets: they don't want to face the Brotherly Love in Philadelphia again. With the Phillies on the brink of elimination, trailing 2-1 in the NLDS after Tuesday's 7-2 loss, Castellanos is urging his team to seize the moment. "We lose, we're going home. Baseball’s over for us," he said. A win in Game 4 could turn the tide, as the Mets wouldn't want to return to Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies have one of the best home records in MLB.

The Phillies' offense, however, has been struggling, scoring just one run in the first five innings of each game. Castellanos, who was the hero in Game 2, had a chance to make a difference in Game 3 but hit into a double play. If the Phillies' bats don't wake up, Castellanos' warning might not matter.
