PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nick Castellanos sometimes amazes himself with intuition he can win a game on the final swing.
As he approached the plate with two outs in the ninth inning, with two runners on and the score tied, Castellanos had a hunch he could win Game 2 of the NL Division Series for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Even in the face of an 1-2 slider against Mets reliever Tylor Megill.
“I did like that pitch when I saw it,” Castellanos said.
